Alpine Decline
Alpine Decline is a guitar & drums duo that relocated from Los Angeles to Beijing in 2010, attracted by the city’s brimming underground music scene. The band’s sound touches the nostalgic sweet spot for fans of psych, shoegaze, noise rock and ‘90s indie, without sounding too much like any of those. Their 2016 album Life’s a Gasp was recorded with longtime band confidante and producer Yang Haisong (PK14) joining on bass, conceived from its inception as a collaborative studio and live performance project.
Over the last few years, Alpine Decline has spawned a side project (under the same name), in which the core duo explores sound design/destruction via their ever-growing Eurorack modular synth system. Performing live as a duo on nothing besides their humming, haunting synths, Alpine Decline explores a totally different sonic terrain, swapping melody and beat for a deep-scrub gray matter massage better experienced while seated. They currently reside back in Los Angeles and continue pushing boundaries with their sound.

Alpine Decline
Alpine Decline 是一支由鼓和吉他组成的双人乐队,成立于洛杉矶,后被北京充盈的地下音乐场景所吸引,2010年迁至北京。他们的音乐总能勾起乐迷对迷幻,自赏,噪音摇滚,及90年代独立音乐甜丝丝的怀念,却在听觉上与这些音乐风格无相似之处。他们2016年的新专辑《生于喘息》由乐队的多年密友及制作人杨海崧担任录音师和贝斯手。而这张专辑的构思源于他们合作录音棚及现场演出项目。
这几年,Alpine Decline 以相同队名发起了另一个分支项目。在这个音乐项目中乐队中心二人通过他们日益完善的Eurorack 模块合成器系统探索声音的设计与毁灭。仅通过操作合成器发出令人难以忘怀声音,Alpine Decline用嗡嗡的声响出探索完全不同的声音领域,当你坐下体验,会感觉到全身的毛孔都被深层洁净了一般。
