Adding colour to Melbourne's musical landscape, Alpine formed in 2009 and have gone from strength-to-strength ever since.

Likened to Phoenix, Lykke Li and The xx, they've held the mantle of triple j Unearthed Feature Artist and have found friends online, on air and on paper. Fusing synths with honeyed harmonies, hypnotic rhythms and bright beats, Alpine appeared on the scene with a set of demos that quickly caught the attention of music lovers around the world.

Receiving praise from big tastemakers such as Pitchfork, The Fader, The Guardian etc 2010 saw the release of their critically lauded debut EP Zurich as well as tours alongside the likes of Cloud Control, Jinja Safari, The Naked and Famous, Catcall, not to mention their own sold out national headline tour to boot. A Is For Alpine is the band's first album and proves why they are one of the most exciting and promising acts in Australia right now.
