Pines Of Rome - 'When You Are As Full As The Moon' CD

Please note that CDs begin shipping on 7/6/26. Providence, RI slowcore meets countrygaze veterans quietly returned in 2026 with a new album. The album title comes from a zen buddhist poem by Theri Punna: "Fill yourself with the dharma. / When you are as full as the moon-- burst open. / Make the dark night shine." Bit of a lofty goal, maybe, but in this era of shadows, finding some way to shimmer in the darkness might be the only rational response. Across 7 tracks, singer-guitarist Matthew Derby weaves a narrative that starts with the death of a parent and ends with the recognition that past mistakes might actually have saved us from a far worse fate. Limited to 100 copies.
