Pinegrove have released a new single, “Moment,” the New Jersey-bred outfit’s debut on indie stalwart label Rough Trade Records, which also marks the band’s first new music since last year’s release of their second proper LP, Skylight.

“‘Moment’ for me was a way of thinking about gratitude in the context of chaos or tedium,” frontman Evan Stephens Hall says of the crashingly meditative track, which continues to showcase Pingrove’s folk, country and even punk influences. “This last stanza says directly what I say more obliquely in the verses, zeroing in after a meandering route: ‘I’m in this moment/ & I can’t see past it/ I’m in this disaster/ & it keeps on going/ But it keeps me asking/ What’s in this moment?'”
