Alpine is a sextet from Melbourne, Australia. They have gained a notable following with their first album A is For Alpine. On their sophomore effort they show depth and maturity while sticking close to their signature beat driven pop. This album is funky, oh so funky. And it drips with lust, love, and attraction. But this isn\u2019t a clich\u00e9d girl breaks up with boy album. It is more about personal struggles than ex-boyfriends. \u201cUp For Air\u201d has a back beat that just won\u2019t quit but the groove is deliberately slow. \u201cJellyfish\u201d is an electronica masterpiece with samples, synths and reverb. The lyrics are metaphoric, mysterious and mesmerizing. \u201cDamn Baby\u201d grabs you with rap horns but makes you stay with a soulful groove and sensual lyrics. It\u2019s so sexy. \u201cFoolish\u201d is the main single with its catchy melody and danceable groove. The opening track \u201cCome On\u201d is incredibly adventurous and enthralling.<br \/>\nPhoebe Baker and Lou James complement each other in every way from harmonies to lyrics. The band knows how to craft an album. No note, synth or beat is out of place. It is precise and dazzling.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: Tops, Tennis<br \/>\nRecommended Tracks: 5 (Up For Air), 8 (Damn Baby), 6 (Jellyfish), 3 (Crunches), 1 (Come On), 2 (Foolish) ALL<br \/>\nDo Not Play: 10 (Need Not Be)<br \/>\nWritten by Emilie Stafford on 07\/26\/15 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sultry lyrics, layers of gorgeous vocals, pulsing beats and atmosphere from Australian babes Alpine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":920,"featured_media":35841,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,3235,3230,181],"tags":[2966,3341],"class_list":["post-35840","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","category-music-reviews","category-new-music-rotation","category-rock-rotation","tag-alpine","tag-yuck"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Alpine.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35840","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/920"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35840"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35840\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35841"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35840"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35840"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
