Life As We Know It, the sophomore album from PINES marks both a beginning and an end. Written over a multiple years period, the record takes the listener on a journey that mirrors the highs and the lows of life, drawing inspiration from the everyday mundane to the unforgettable moments.

Blending beats and rhythms effortlessly from hip-hop to house with ethereal ambient vibes, deep, distorted bass grooves, and a touch of pop-inspired composition, PINES create a unique sonic combination that transcends conventional boundaries. This album is a love letter to their own relationship with music and sound, demonstrating a maturity and confidence in their productions that can only come with the passing of time spent honing their craft. An album brimming with ideas, Life As We Know It begs to be played in full – the title track whisking you off on an epic adventure, traversing the sonic landscapes filled with highs and lows before arriving at closing anthem ‘I Know That I Need You’.

Collaborating with guest vocalists on standout tracks Tides, Lost, History and Slow Memory, PINES introduce an infusion of pop sensibility that serves as a beacon, drawing audiences deeper into their enigmatic sonic realm. Amidst the intricate layers, their melodies shine through to evoke a range of emotions from introspection to euphoria. It’s this melodic finesse that anchors their music in the hearts and minds of their audience, making their ethereal soundscapes not only unique but also deeply resonant.

In the vast landscape of electronic music, PINES indeed occupy a rarefied space, offering an auditory journey that feels as boundless as the universe itself.

“When we write and produce we’re always driven to create music that we’d want to hear – whether on the AirPods on the daily commute, cruising down a highway with the windows down, going for a beach run or pumping on a festival sound system – it’s music that inspires us, elevates us and soundtracks special moments in our life. Making this music has been everything to us and for all the challenges we faced making this album a reality I couldn’t be prouder of what James and I have created. We hope you’ll listen and allow it seep into your psyche and find a special place in your heart to soundtrack life as YOU know it.”

“The past three years have been a blur, a rollercoaster of emotions, experiences, highs, lows and everything in between. It feels as though Life As We Know It has somehow managed to encapsulate all of those things for us. Finishing an album is a draining but rewarding process and now that the album is ready to share with the world it just feels incredibly satisfying and lately has caused us to reflect on the lives that we’ve led whilst making it. We’re super proud of what we’ve been able to create and we hope that it evokes the same feelings for listeners as it does for us, transporting them track by track to all of life’s experiences, to life as they know it.”
