"Phase" went out on Rough Trade as the second taste of Marigold, Pinegrove's fourth studio album, released in 2020, and it's a song about lying awake. Evan Stephens Hall wrote it about insomnia and anxiety: the mind racing while the body won't switch off, the bedroom seen from the pillow, the chores and lists that multiply in the dark, and the slow crawl through all that worry toward sleep.
It brought the band two firsts. It was the first Pinegrove song ever to chart, topping out at number 34 on the Adult Alternative Songs chart in 2020, and it got their first real music video, directed by Colin Read, in which a sleepwalker drifts through Manhattan, lifts a busker's guitar and barges in on a band rehearsal.
