			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Rising out of the prairies of the Midwest, The Pines are one of the most distinct and powerful indie-rock/Americana groups to hit the national scene in years. Emerging from the same Minneapolis music world that spawned such notable acts as The Jayhawks, The Replacements and Bob Dylan, The Pines have </span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">gathered a stunning line-up of musical talent, in both their live shows and on record, that has gained them a faithful and growing following. With their distinct blend of dark atmospheric indie-folk, rock and blues, <em>The Pines</em> is a young band that has fully arrived with a sound and song craft that stands apart on the indie music landscape. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Frontmen Benson Ramsey and David Huckfelt share a common musical language rooted in the songs and songwriters of their </span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">native Iowa, while each bringing a distinct voice and sensibility to the sound that Rolling Stone senior writer David Fricke called &#8220;quietly gripping&#8221; stark-country. The mysterious sound of The Pines fuses Benson&#8217;s ethereal, otherworldly, heart-piercing songs with David&#8217;s earthy, darkly romantic and rough-hewn visionary tales. With masterful guitar work, beautiful vocals and the graceful keyboard and vocal additions of Benson&#8217;s brother Alex Ramsey, the core of The Pines&#8217; sound captivates and elevates with rare intimacy.</span></p>

<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Featuring Benson Ramsey (vocals, guitars, keyboards),  David Huckfelt (vocals, acoustic guitar) and Alex Ramsey (keyboards, vocals).</span></p>
<div><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">The Pines&#8217; music conjures up rural specters and ghosts from the farms slowly disappearing throughout their native Midwest. Many of their songs explore the tension between city and small town and the loneliness that can exist in both. The Pines cook up a diverse palette of musical flavors and songs that reflect on cold days, dark nights and the hope that shines in between. </span></p>
