Set to release their upcoming EP Endzone on November 17th, Copenhagen-based dreamy-indie-rockers Pinemoon have shared the video for single We’re Not There, a slow, meandering offering fixating on a moody, chorus-laden chord progression which evokes the Smiths’ Johnny Marr on sleeping pills.
Mastered by Slowdive’s Simon Scott, shoegaze influences are clear on this cut – distorted, distant drums driven by a consistent 8th-note cymbal keep the pace beneath warm lo-fi guitars and soft vocals, breathed with the emotional vulnerability of Chris Martin’s most intimate performances. Backing vocal counterpoint, falsetto harmonies, and synth-string stabs provide considered textural changes as the song crescendos into quasi-psychedelia – there is something in the relentless groove that resembles Tame Impala in its lush and sleepy fuzziness.
