Their latest song “Speak” is a smooth, trance inducing dance track that features sultry vocals, heavenly pads, and a crisp, thumping beat to tie it all together. PINES‘ laid back and accessible style sometimes reminds me of Odesza, which is obviously high praise, and I fully …

Insanely talented producer Jerry Folk samples “Find You” by Charlotte Day Wilson in his latest release.
