DITTIES FROM DOWN UNDER: Alpine

May 02. 2012 | By Catriona Noble

The strum of guitar and indie rhythm sets the mood for the angels to vocally descend, to mesmerize and esoterically take us away. This gritty, yet enchanting 6-piece combo band are quirky, kinky, dreamy, and moody. The angelic-like harmonies of the two front sweet girls Lou and Phoebe, ascend you back up with them, backed by the progressive percussion, guitar, and keyboard. Alpine‘s gallant, dreamy, crisp sound is an exquisite, smooth collection of instruments, talent, and taste — somewhere around Metric, Massive Attack, and Air. No, they are not from the highland of Scandinavia, in fact they are from Melbourne, Australia. Prepare to be amazed and elevated.
