Famed music critic Dave Marsh said The Pines are "like the great folk-rock bands of yesteryear... I didn't hear a better new band in 2008" and Q Magazine gave their debut CD SPARROWS IN THE BELL raves and 4 stars. Now the edgy alt-folk duo is back with an amazing follow up produced by the acclaimed producer Bo Ramsey. Based in the Twin Cities and steadily building a national following, The Pines are emerging as an important new voice in American roots music and we think this is their break-out recording.
