Consisting mostly of Texas State students from San Marcos, Silver Pines has produced a debut EP that is, in short, extremely and sincerely romantic. The key in separating the band’s appeal from other similar artists such as Beach House and Marissa Nadler relies heavily on the rhythm section. The use of waltz, crescendos, and overall booming togetherness creates a perfect platform for Stephanie Franciotti’s beautifully distant and dreamy vocals. For example, “Dawn of the Dawn” and “Clover Eyes” present flawlessly placed rhythmic releases that captivate the listener.
