minimalistic 3-piece pop from stephen mccarthy (vocals / snare), aaron (guitar / vocals) and hannah beehre (keys / vocals). producing sunny pop of the most intimate and well-formed, pine’s songs are short, chripy, and perfectly formed.
with all three members prolific behind the scenes in new zealand music, art and web design, they quickly established a firm image in their home-town of christchurch, and signed to ben howe’s arch hill label for the release of their debut full-length.
2003 was a good year for the band, touring japan, england and the united states, and developing a strong following back home.
