Pineforest Crunch

**Pineforest Crunch** is a UK-based indie pop/rock project known for crafting sunny, lo-fi tunes soaked in 1990s nostalgia. Emerging in the late 2010s, the band channels college radio vibes and introspective lyricism through jangly guitars, hazy synths, and laidback beats, as heard in tracks like "Collegeradio Listeners" and "Panamarenko." Their sound often feels like a mixtape unearthed from a dorm room time capsule, blending wistful melodies with nods to retro culture. While they keep a low profile persona-wise, Pineforest Crunch has built a cult following via collaborations (like their work with Crinkle Cut) and releases through labels such as My Pet Flamingo. Tracks like "Shangri-La" showcase their knack for turning bittersweet daydreams into fuzzy, feel-good anthems.
