A few days ago, I mentioned a band that has been after my own heart as of late: Ottawa’s Pine. They recently released a Little Elephant session for their track “Letters,” and now they’ve given us the second half of that performance with their track “Lopri.”

Featured on our Valentine’s Day playlist, “Lopri” is off of the band’s most recent release—a split with Dead Leaves—available here.

“Lopri” is a track with dynamic turns, cranking up the gain from the slow-building “Letters,” the last song they performed for Little Elephant. “Lopri” is much more urgent, with vocals highlighting a love unwanted blossoming, as guitars swell all around the resonance the band emanates.

“I’ll breathe you in, I won’t empty my lungs, I’ll have to let you go, the exhale is all I’ve got.”

Watch the band’s stellar performance below.
