Soft Hell is EASILY, the clear winner for Best Album of 2023 in my book! Thank you, Closure In Moscow, so much for all the years of hard work and the love and emotion you poured into this record. It's already working to help me through some difficult times. Also, most relatable lyrics on a CIM album so far, imo
🖤❤️🩷

This album, like every Pinegrove album, has gotten me through some pretty tough times. Evan's lyrics tug at the heartstrings and are so easily relatable. This album in particular is special though, having been made roughly around the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and released at a time when most of us are still dealing with it. A snapshot of a time when the whole world was enduring a collective struggle that reminded us of our humanity. Of humanity's propensity for empathy, but also apathy.
