Alpine are an Australian indie pop band from Melbourne, Victoria, formed in 2009.
History
Alpine released their debut EP, Zurich, in 2010.[1]
Preceded by the "Hands" single in late 2011,[2] their debut album, A Is for Alpine, was released in Australia in 2012[3] and in the US in 2013.[4] The album was featured on Triple J prior to its release,[5] and debuted at No. 11 on the ARIA chart.[6][7][8]
The album's second single, "Gasoline," was released in July 2012. It reached No. 31 in the 2012 Triple J Hottest 100,[9] and was described by Pitchfork as an "unforgettably light and charismatic gem".[10] Alpine were nominated for ARIA Award for Breakthrough Artist - Release and Best Video (for "Hands") at the 2012 ARIA Music Awards.[11] They toured the United States in March 2013, playing shows in Los Angeles and New York City, and in September made their US television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.[12] At the APRA Music Awards of 2013, the band members were nominated for Breakthrough Songwriter of the Year.[13]
Rolling Stone magazine called Alpine a "Band to Watch" in July 2013,[14] and they were touted similarly by Guardian,[15] Time[16] and Vice magazines,[17] as well as influential radio programs KCRW[18] and NPR's All Songs Considered.[19]
The band's second album, Yuck, was released in 2015,[20] reaching No. 16 on the Australian charts.[8] Its lead single, "Foolish," came in at number 57 in that year's Hottest 100.
After an extended hiatus, Alpine returned in 2019 with a new single, "Dumb" on 1 May 2019. A week prior, the band had announced that founding member and co-lead vocalist Lou James would be departing from the band.
