{"title":"Pinback","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout Pinback\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePinback formed in San Diego, California in 1998 around Rob Crow (also of Heavy Vegetable, Thingy, Goblin Cock, and many other parallel projects) and Zach Smith (also of Three Mile Pilot). The duo's name was taken from the Dark Star (1974 John Carpenter film) character. Their distinctive blend of intricate indie rock guitar work, dual-vocalist harmonies, and mathematical compositional approaches positioned them as a defining act of the late-1990s and 2000s indie rock scene alongside contemporaries like American Football, the Dismemberment Plan, and Spoon. They have been inactive since 2012 with both members pursuing solo and parallel band work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePinback's sound combines indie rock, math rock, post-rock, lo-fi indie, indie pop, and alternative rock with Crow and Smith's distinctive dual-vocalist arrangements (use of overlapping vocal harmonies), intricate dual-instrumental compositions, and atmospheric production approaches drawing on classic post-rock and indie rock traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscography highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePinback (1999, Ace Fu)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue Screen Life (2001, Ace Fu)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSummer in Abaddon (2004, Touch and Go)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutumn of the Seraphs (2007, Touch and Go)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInformation Retrieved (2012, Temporary Residence Limited)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor collectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAce Fu Records, Touch and Go, and Temporary Residence Limited pressings of the Pinback catalog have been issued in color variant editions, with collector demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere to start\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eListeners new to Pinback typically start with Summer in Abaddon (2004) or Autumn of the Seraphs (2007). \u003cspan class=\"related-collections\"\u003eExplore more: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/classic-rock-vinyl-records\"\u003eClassic Rock\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"pinback-autumn-of-the-seraphs-vinyl","title":"Autumn of the Seraphs LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eTheir fourth full-length and second on Touch And Go contains melodies that are more dynamic and aggressive.
