11/24丨Alpine Decline「2024巡演」

Alpine Decline 用近15年的时间去潜心磨砺他们独特的敌托邦式迷幻摇滚风格。昔日洛杉矶乐队 Mezzanine Owls 中的两位灵魂人物 - 主唱 Jonathan Zeitlin 和鼓手Pauline Mu，彼时于一年内连发三张专辑而在场景中崭露头角，之后便收拾行囊去往北京。在那里他们融入了无浪潮地下音乐场景，并很快签约兵马司唱片。乐队在2016年回到洛杉矶，发行了数张介于佩斯利地下风格和抽象模块合成器风格的专辑。

乐队的最新专辑 Underground Hits from the Far Out Future, Vol. I-IV 带领听众进入独特的四部曲旅程，并穿梭于乐队音乐的每个层面。每一部都包括三首歌，并在不同的录音室、由不同的制作人和不同的乐手阵容录制。每一部都有其主题 - 科幻、幻想、浪漫和恐怖，利用声音去设计塑造他们的小故事。“我们一直很感兴趣的是，当我们改变自己的审美时，什么元素是在我们身上贯穿始终的，并且希望把创作历程融入到一张专辑之中。我们欣然接受自己身为小众地下乐队的定位，并乐于这张专辑的概念 —— 由也许会被遥远未来的人类或外星人探索废墟时发现的单曲所组成。”

Alpine Decline has been honing their unique brand of dystopian psych rock for nearly 15 years. From the ashes of aughts LA indie darlings Mezzanine Owls, the two piece featuring Jonathan Zeitlin on vocals and Pauline Mu on drums exploded onto the scene with three albums in one year and then promptly packed their bags and moved to China. There they fell into the no wave tinged underground scene and were promptly signed to the iconic Maybe Mars Records. After re-transplanting back in LA in 2016, the band released several more albums bouncing between Paisley Underground jangle and modular synth abstraction.

Their new album Underground Hits from the Far Out Distant Future, Vol. I-IV pulls the listener through all shades of the band's sound in a unique four part journey, with each volume featuring three songs and recorded in a different studio with a different producer and a shifting lineup of musicians. Each volume takes up a theme – Science-Fiction, Fantasy, Romance, and Horror – employing sound design to shape their miniature stories. “We’ve always been interested in what element of ourselves is the through-line when we shift the aesthetic, and wanted to put that journey together in a single album. We’ve embraced our identity as a niche, underground band, and we were having fun with the concept that this album was made up of singles that would be discovered under the rubble by distant future people or aliens.”

Vol. II: Fantasy

“Volume II : 幻想”骤然改变了方向。二人组与Spooky Tavi（HOTT MT, Vinyl Williams）在洛杉矶的顶级DIY场地 Non Plus Ultra 搭设舞台，撇下摇滚，转而投入了迷幻电子的怀抱。三首曲目交织出摆脱现实的幻想曲，每一首都包含着某些潜伏的危机。《Onion Valley》的双主唱部分，包裹在好似鸟语与拂岭清风般的电鼓和合成器之中 - 感觉像是为给幻想成为人类的机器人而写的流行曲。

Volume II: Fantasy veers dramatically in a different direction. The duo set up shop in LA’s premiere DIY venue Non Plus Ultra and partnered with Spooky Tavi (HOTT MT, Vinyl Williams), eschewing rock ‘n roll for dreamy electronic bliss. The three songs tell disjointed escape fantasies, each with something dangerous lurking in the periphery. The duo trade vocals on “Onion Valley”, with its soaring chorus wrapped in electronic drums and synths approximating singing birds and wind rushing down the mountains – a track that feels like it was written to be a pop hit for robots dreaming of being human.
