In some ways, we Brits are incredibly lucky to live where we do. When the summer months begin, so does the music. There's now such a huge choice of festivals to pick from during BST that it would be nigh on impossible to get to them all without some kind of reinvention of Concorde. For being so spoilt for choice, we are truly grateful. It's just a shame that the UK's climate is as unpredictable as it is. Isn't that right Glastonbury? So for those who decided against submerging themselves in murky mud to watch Beyoncé (and once you're home [...]
Here's a little collection of songs that are doing the rounds at the moments and that I like. First up we've got some Holy Ghost!, signed to one of the most consistently excellent labels, DFA. This is a new song from the band that's floating about for free off the label's Soundcloud as a bit of promo for their eponymous debut album which is due out on 25th April. For now, content yourselves with this... Holy Ghost! - Wait & See [ Buy [...]

Words: Saam Das It's coming upto six months since we first mentioned night-pop duo Alpines , who have gone onto sign with Polydor. Tomorrow sees the release of their debut EP, 'Night Drive' and you can listen to all four tracks below. The EP collects a couple of remixes, along with 'Drive' (which I talked a little about in January ) and my favourite Alpines track thus far - the majestic 'Ice [...]
A good remix should enhance and magnify the original track without compromising its integrity or changing it into something unrecognizable, and that's exactly what this Dark Sky remix of London synth-pop duo ΛLPINES ' "Ice And Arrows" does; it's a little darker, a bit more ambient, and quite divine, really. ΛLPINES - Ice And Arrows (Dark Sky remix) [download] ΛLPINES have been supporting Ruckus favorites Fenech Soler on tour, and are set to release their debut EP tomorrow (Monday, March 28), celebrating with an in-store [...]
Let's face it, we'll all been there. It's Saturday morning, you wake up....slowly thinking back....nope can't remember...all you know is you had one too many rums last night and everything after the breakdancing is a blur. In this situation, breakfast can be a chore so each Saturday morning we'll be bringing you a snack of choice that you can leave beside your bed next Friday evening in advance of Saturday's bout of "the fear". We'll also line up a bite sized chunk of tunage for you to feast on while you're getting into the tuck. This week's [...]
IFRAME Embed for Youtube We discovered the UK synths duo ΛLPINES last month with their gorgeous ethereal " Drive " Video. Here's another video off their debut EP, " Ice & Arrows", directed by Kate Moross and Hans Lo Also, stream Dark Sky's (who have remixed the xx) new remix of Ice And Arrows below. Taken from the 'Night Drive EP' [...]
Another great Dark Sky remix is out and about. This time instead of being a garage laden reworking they've gone and striped Alpines - Ice and Arrows back for a lovely eery laid-back feel. Check the video at the bottom for the Original that was shot by Kate Moross. Some of her work is at the Pick Me Up exhibition at Somerset House right now... Ice And Arrows (Dark Sky Remix) by Alpines DOWNLOAD - Alpines - Ice [...]
Alpines - 'Night Drive EP' Alpines are one of those bands in 2011 that can be remembered for creating the most spectacular videos and music. Three videos have been made (see them below) and the debut release “Night Drive” is set to be released this Monday (28 March). Alpines is a brand new duo consisting [...]
Friday Films is a weekly post with videos of new songs by London acts I like... Flash Fiktion - Capsules Of Sun The first whiff of the alliterated South London trio's second album. More Afro-Cuban pop bounciness, more vitamins, more grungey guitars. Like. [There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.] Clock Opera - Once & [...]
Taken from the album 'Night Drive' due out March 28th. I must admit this is the first I have heard of Alpines and straight away I was hit by how smooth this record sounds. A brilliantly soft voice that sort of picks you up and carries you through the song. Will definitely be checking out more of Alpines's music ASAP! Expect a remix by Dark Sky real soon too. Looking forward to that. Myspace: www.myspace.com/alpinesmusic
This is another blog post featuring Alpines . We planted a seed about this band some time ago last autumn and now it’s beginning to grow, its leaves revealing its fuller form. Below you will find a series of videos. Three webisodes (is that really a word and did we actually just use it without any sense of humour?) that have a touch of the Iamamiwhoami’s about them, plus the film for a song that we previously featured in demo form – Ice & Arrows – [...]
![[MP3] ALPINES seem poised for SURVIVAL](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3282050_lg.jpg)
i need to make it to the fortress, the only place on earth that i feel safe ♫ Alpines - Survival Thump, thump, twang, twang, wail, wail. Alpines creep decisively out of my speakers as their haunting 'night-pop' bounces between my ears. With less than 1,000 listens on Last.fm this South London duo have only begun pricking ears but I sense that more is just around the corner. I am really digging the clear guitars doing their thing under the huge vocals. More Alpines can be heard in the form of the Night [...]
Alpines now have a new video for their track "Ice & Arrows". Read More >>
A little while ago I did an introducing post on the South London band Aplines. I was gutted to find out that I was missing them play in London at the weekend but to make up for it they released a new video two days ago for the track Ice and Arrows. In line with all the others, the video is great. so many colours… Ice and Arrows will be part of the double A side on the Night Drive EP, due to be released 28th March on 10”. I read somewhere that there are limited copies, [...]
With the release of Alpines ' debut EP edging ever nearer, visual accompaniments to the songs have started to appear online. First, there was the wintry negatives of 'Drive' and now this, a thawed out companion for 'Ice and Arrows.' Directed by every band's favourite artist Kate Moross and Hans Lo , it's a stunning microscopic view; rich and smooth, much like Catherine's distinctive voice. 'Night Drive' EP is out on March 28th
