Last fall, Pinegrove’s Evan Stephens Hall issued a statement addressing allegations of “sexual coercion” that had been levied against him and canceling an upcoming tour, putting the band on hiatus. In a recent interview with Columbus Alive, former member Nandi Rose Plunkett (Half Waif) addressed the status of the band, saying their new album Skylight was already complete and that the band had moved on to recording their next full-length. When reached for comment, a representative for Pinegrove shared a statement from the band. They confirmed that a new album is complete and that they’ve been playing together in private, but noted that there are no current plans to share new music. They wrote:

Skylight is finished, but we don’t have any plans to release it until this has been further resolved. We’ve been playing music with each other because that’s what we love to do, but we are not announcing another album right now. We’re sorry for not providing more information but navigating this privately has felt like the best way to be respectful to all parties.
