Pinback

Pinback, a California-based duo, has carved a niche in indie rock since their 1998 formation with their distinctive blend of intricate, math-rock-influenced instrumentals and undeniably catchy melodies. Core members Armistead Burwell Smith IV and Rob Crow craft heady, atmospheric songs marked by complex rhythms and elliptical lyrics. Known for cult favorites like "Good to Sea" and "Fortress," their sound often explores a gentle yet knotty approach to songwriting, making for a compelling live experience.
