Alpine – Yuck
Originally published on Alt Media
Deep, emotional and soulful pop jams that blend elements of slow R&B with the big band sound Alpine are known for, Yuck is an exciting new record that will be be on perennial repeat for some time.
Having learned and grown from their first record, Alpine have done a nice job incorporating new ideas into their sound whilst remaining true to the pop ethos they excelled at on A Is For Alpine.
The biggest concern here is the somewhat wishy-washy flow of the album, as they employ the new sounds and ideas. One cant help but feel this album would be receiving more hype had this been tightened up.
Highlights include Foolish, Crunches and Standing Not Sleeping.
