Hear it and you’ll understand why Pina is sometimes called the Swiss sister of Adrienne Lenker and Courtney Barnett. Other touchstones include Elliott Smith, MJ Lenderman and Waxahatchee.
The new album “You Better Get Used To It” is out 27 February 2026 on Mouthwatering Records. Recorded in Zürich and Berlin with Long Tall Jefferson, Federico Corazzini of Meagre Martin and other close collaborators, it tells a story of transformation, heartbreak and the feeling of finally arriving at yourself.
