The angular meets the angelic with Alpine , a Melbourne-based band of art-pop Aussies who have delivered one of the most original and eclectic albums of the year. Melding the dual-harmonied, pixie-ish vocals of frontwomen and longtime friends Lou James and Phoebe Baker with brisk, scattered beats and some ridiculously inventive guitar play, Alpine turn their A Is For Alpine (May 21, Voliv) into a collection of songs so imaginative and just plain different that the effect is as mindbending as it is mesmerizing. A 2010 EP Zürich and some quirky [...]

Gravity sucks. All it does is hold us down; we'd be better off without it. But don't take my word for it - just take a look at the new video from Alpine , for their unreasonably catchy single "Gasoline" . Look at all the people flying around. Look how athletic they are. Look how much fun they're having. They also seem to be able to move backwards in time at will, so bonus points for that. As well as reminding me that I really need to start taking some exercise, [...]
Indiana é singer-songwriter natural de Nottingham e senhora de uma voz única e apaixonante. A cantora for descoberta depois de ter partilhado uma versão de " Gabriel " de Joe Goddard pelo próprio produtor da canção John Beck, que a convidou a trabalhar consigo. Desta colaboração surgiu o single de estreia "Blind As I Am" em Novembro que rapidamente conquistou o interesse de tastemakers como Annie Mac. A sua música constrói-se sobre um manto de soul electrónica downtempo e paisagens sonoras assombradas, que serve de base à ressonância profundamente tocante e desarmante da sua voz, tingida de [...]

After Groovin The Moo in Townsville wrapped up, it was time to head down to Flinders Social for an intimate club experience with ALISON WONDERLAND and DZ DEATHRAYS . This was an amazing evening and the audience consisted of a lot of other big names who played at the festival. Probably the nicest guy in the Australian music industry, Vincent from MIDNIGHT JUGGERNAUTS was seen up the front of the dance floor busting a move, FLUME was happily chatting to excited punters, while [...]

After some technical difficulties throughout the day, we will be opening and closing up shop with a new video from ALPINE titled, 'Gasoline.' We really need to come up with a mixtape of summer tunes, because the six-piece synth-pop group from Australia track 'Gasoline' will be on the track list. Watch the video below.

Alpine are a six-piece indie-rock band from Melbourne, Australi and Gasoline is one of their newer releases this spring...This is kind of a creepy video in my opinion. Very well done, but creepy. I suppose it's not that creepy if you like humping and dancing in leotards. That said, the song itself can go ahead and be thrown in the ballots for "Most Summer Sounding Tunes". This here song is called Gasoline , and you immediately feel the vibe they're trying to put off, and Gasoline only keeps this fire of a song going. [...]

Os australianos Alpine lançam A is for Alpine , o álbum de estreia, no dia 21 de Maio. Embora este álbum já esteja disponível na Austrália e Nova Zelândia, nós cá pelo resto do mundo continuamos à espera. Depois de " Seeing Red ", o novo apontamento do álbum é "Gasoline", uma música que nos soa a Verão. O vídeo, com direcção a cargo de Emma Tomelty, está agradavelmente preenchido por bailarinos, com jogos de espelhos que ainda adequam mais os seus movimentos à música. "Gasoline" não é só boa de se ouvir, é também boa [...]

Sometimes I can hear a song and I just want to close my eyes and absorb the sounds. There is a smoothness to this song that has sweet as honey vocals and an uncomplicated strum of a guitar that nicely roots its melodious sound in my mind. I couldn't help but begin to sway to the beat. It is very cool, chill, and from Australia. There's gasoline in your heart, there's fire in mine. I know I'm never gonna light you, but there's always nighttime. [...]

Alpine , the six-piece synth-pop ensemble from Australia, just released a pastel fantasia of a video for their catchy new single "Gasoline." Edited to a fluid stutter that brings to mind one of my favorite music videos of all time (Carpark North's " Human "), Alpine's "Gasoline" dream features half-naked dancers (also a perennial favorite) floating and whipping through an Easter-egg haze, unfurling themselves like a kaleidoscope. Lead singers Phoebe Baker and Lou James sing coolly through their vocal interplay, which is gossamer-light and a little seductive - the whole thing brings to mind "Run Run Run"-era Phoenix, Kimbra and [...]
