“Pines And Evergreens” is a delightful, shimmering rocker from Bristol-based act Alexander Sun. Formed in the winter of 2017, the band’s debut single “You Are Made of Magic” was released this May. They’re playing a series of dates across the UK this summer, with plans to record their debut album this autumn.
In regards to the track itself, “Pines And Evergreens” dazzles with a serene vocal presence and suave guitar twangs — with a dazed, psych-friendly allure throughout. The “on vacation in my mind,” bridge around the three-minute mark shows some enjoyable variation. It’s a very enjoyable track, through and through.
Per the band: “We made this record back in the Spring with the hombre Chris Ellul in his quaint studio in Bath, Somerset. It’s a homage to all the good times on the road, skating, surfing, sketching, and camping with ya mates. We hope you like it!”
