2012 album from the Australian Indie Rock band. Alpine formed in 2009 and have gone from strength-to-strength ever since. Likened to Phoenix, Lykke Li and The xx, they’ve held the mantle of triple j Unearthed Feature Artist and have found friends online, on air and on paper. Fusing synths with honeyed harmonies, hypnotic rhythms and bright beats, Alpine appeared on the scene with a set of demos that quickly caught the attention of music lovers around the world. 2010 saw the release of their critically lauded debut EP Zurich as well as tours alongside the likes of Cloud Control, Jinja Safari, The Naked and Famous, Catcall, not to mention their own sold out national headline tour to boot.
This was a pretty good album.
Surprised more people didn’t listen to this. Solid musicians, made my best of 2012 list after one listen!
Thanks for the tip! This sounds really good and I’ve never heard of them before.
@audiobinge – After one listen, this just made my 2012 list as well : ) Still don’t get why I haven’t heard them before.
Going in ‘Albums you may have slept on 2012’ If more people don’t start mentioning it ha. Mutual friend who loves Minus the Bear was scrobbling it on last.fm so i looked it up. What a sweet sounding surprise!
