With their debut, The Pine Tree, The Mushroom & the End of the World, The Nghiems have created an album that’s equal parts dream pop and indie rock, with a melodic sensibility that brings to mind a more drowsy, orchestral, piano-driven Pavement. The Nghiems showcase their earnest songwriting on the entirety of the record from the lighthearted and playful tracks "Nothing to Fear", "Traveling Coat", "Dancin Shoes", and "Dum Dum Dah Dah" to the more heartfelt tracks "Everything in Between" and "Morning". Also accompanying the album is a beautifully illustrated storybook The Pine Tree, The Mushroom & the End of the World, making this debut album all the more outstanding.
Includes unlimited streaming of The Pine Tree, The Mushroom, & The end of the World

lyrics
Can, can you hear us now
Cause we’re here
We’re screaming out loud
To friends of friends, you’ll leave behind
Left in dust when it’s do or die
And I know, but what do I know
They pulled it on you twice
There’s no mistaking it
Paying for the price
You can’t be taking it anymore
But where did you go
Can, can see us now
Don’t blink
Don’t ever look down
Just hold your head up, high and dry
It will come to pass from time to time
And I know, but what do I know
They pulled it on you twice
There’s no mistaking it
Paying for the price
You can’t be taking it anymore
But where did you go
Can, can you hear us now
Can you hear us now
Sparkling synthpop with an emphasis on high-wattage chords and the kind of melodies that burrow themselves deep in the brain. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 1, 2023
