Alpines Reveal Video for Lead Single ‘Heaven’

Alpines today reveal the video for lead single ‘Heaven’.  The video adopts an unrestricted interpretation capturing a series of delicate moments across a variety of characters. “For this video we worked closely with director Hugo Jenkins on the treatment. We wanted to try and represent the breadth of human emotion through a spectrum of incredible characters. That no matter who you are or where you are from, every person matters and every feeling matters.” – Alpines. Teased earlier this year with the slick intimacy of Completely, Alpines’ sophomore LP Another River pares down the sound of their 2014 debut Oasis. This new effort is not so much the sound of a duo finding their feet, as it is an utterly standout performance from a couple of intrepid sonic experimenters subtly refining their craft.

Their futurist brand of production renders Catherine Pockson’s R&B melodies into dazzling soundscapes, each thrumming with a life of its own. The duo’s application has fuelled various collaborations in the fashion world, including the likes of All Saints, Paul Smith and Urban Outfitters. The duo are masters in creating cerebral and inventive music without compromising on the simple unabashed joy of melody. Another River is an emotive outpouring on love and life that will resonate with people everywhere. It’s easy to see why British pop titans including The xx, The Maccabees and Florence Welch are fans. It’s time for a changing of the guards and Alpines are the new wave.
