Alpine Decline 是一支由鼓和吉他組成的雙人樂隊，成立于洛杉磯，后被北京充盈的地下音樂場景所吸引，2010年遷至北京。他們的音樂總能勾起樂迷對迷幻，自賞，噪音搖滾，及90年代獨立音樂甜絲絲的懷念，卻在聽覺上與這些音樂風格了無相似之處。他們2016年的新專輯《生于喘息》由樂隊的多年密友及制作人楊海崧擔任錄音師和貝斯手。而這張專輯的構思源于他們合作錄音棚及現場演出項目。 這幾年，Alpine Decline 以相同隊名發起了另一個分支項目。在這個音樂項目中樂隊中心二人通過他們日益完善的Eurorack 模塊合成器系統探索聲音的設計與毀滅。僅通過操作合成器發出令人難以忘懷聲音，Alpine Decline用嗡嗡的聲響出探索完全不同的聲音領域，當你坐下體驗，會感覺到全身的毛孔都被深層潔凈了一般。 Alpine Decline are a two piece rock band buried beneath a hundred feet of snow. A caustic guitar with rippling delay rides on expansive, tidal drumming. Their eponymous first record, the follow up “VISUALIZATIONS” and soon-to-be-released “DISAPPEARANCE” unwinds with trickling melodies with lyrics like glimpses into some lost film or yellowed manuscript. Live, the pair push off each other and throw heavy punches, channeling their sounds through layers of tape. Alpine Decline continue to write and record. Washed in flickering 8mm film light, Alpine Decline appeared in 2010 in East LA spinning up their machines and spinning out a web made of quarter inch tape. The duo crash echoed vivid vocal melodies with pulse pumping guitars and drums, all within a cloud of cinematic atmosphere. In less than a year they recorded three full length albums and then promptly vanished, spirited to China and vanishing along the disintegrating edge of east Beijing. After one year, Alpine Decline return with their fourth album, "Night of the Long Knives". Descending from the high altitude visions of their previous records, the duo walks us gassed out and head numb through chaos and time sickness, deep into the ruins of ancient alleyways and naked skyscrapers. This time under the expansive sonics of producer Yang Haisong, "Night of the Long Knives" is Alpine Decline surfacing from the Beijing haze at the height of their powers, crafting songs with the ghost-memory quality of myths and guiding a twelve song trip deep into the cinematic and stereoscopic landscape of their world, real and apocryphal. "Night of the Long Knives" will be released late 2012. Visit www.alpinedecline.com to stream the first three albums: "Alpine Decline", "Visualizations", and "消失／Disappearance". Alpine Decline continue their relentless pursuit of the zero in Beijing, with performances in 2012-2013 throughout Asia, Europe, and the US.
