City of Pines

CHRVNS and Tim Mechling sit down with City of Pines and discuss turning a catastrophe into a core memory, winning over a hostile crowd, recording in Sweden, how much running is involved in making a music video, Backflips > Frontflips, and Tim tries to start a true crime podcast.

City of Pines was founded by Nick Clack in 2017, built on a foundation of honest songwriting inspired by the human experience. Drawing from a love for the outdoors and deep human connection, Nick crafts music that is both meaningful and uplifting. The project began with original recordings in a friend’s cabin on Camano Island, and the first EP—along with six additional releases—was recorded in Kyiv, Ukraine, where Nick previously lived and worked.

In 2021, Tyler Cutforth joined as lead guitarist and backing vocalist. His role expanded on the latest record, contributing to songwriting and taking lead vocals on the track Wandering Pines. In 2025, the lineup was completed with Andrew Sweeting on bass and Justin Dobbelaar on drums.

With a full band, a busy year of shows, and multiple video productions, City of Pines is just getting started.
