The first album from Olan Mill, the line-up featured Alex Smalley and Svitlana Samoylenko. The album comprises ten instrumental pieces which incorporate piano, violin, pipe organ and guitar. 'Pine' is concerned with big, stirring sound palettes which belie the duo's modest array of instruments. 'Pine' was recorded over several sessions on location inside a small church which lends a very human, almost tangible sound to the album. Unlike many of their contemporaries, Olan Mill are not obsessed with the notion of minimalism, neither is there any sense of the pieces having been planned or preconceived. As a result, the listening experience can be said to be natural in the truest sense of the word.
