Alpines are ending the year on a high.
New album 'Another River' is out now, a crisp, mature, rounded work, with Bob Matthews and Catherine Pockson providing beautifully spacious meditations.
Set to play a full nationwide tour in February, Alpines will close 2016 with fragrant new video 'Dawn Drive'.
Refreshing electronic pop with an artful gaze, it's a probing narrative across the full length of the album.
It's also a comment on the writing process itself, the meditative journey that the creative arc takes the pair on. Alpines comment:
"We’ve always found it really important to take a step back and listen to what we’ve written or recorded in a different space. Going for a drive and having that different perspective to listening in the studio was a really important process in creating 'Another River'."
Tune in now.
