Skylight is the third studio album by Pinegrove, self-released on September 28, 2018. The album was produced by the band's frontman, singer-songwriter Evan Stephens Hall, as well as guitarist Sam Skinner. It was recorded at a home the band lived in in upstate New York in mid-2017. Pinegrove had risen to fame on the heels of its sophomore record, Cardinal, released on independent label Run for Cover. In November 2017, Hall posted a statement on the band's Facebook detailing accusations of "sexual coercion" against him. In response, the band canceled a tour and the planned release of Skylight, entering a hiatus.
The album eventually saw release with little promotion in September 2018 on Bandcamp. It was self-released by the band as they had split from Run for Cover during the interim. Skylight received positive reviews from contemporary music critics. Though initially exclusive to streaming platforms, the album was released physically in February 2019. Its LP release was bundled with an additional disc containing an acoustic rendition of the album, dubbed Skylight II.
