Blending folk music with electronics and a vibe like sunshine pouring raisins down on you from the heavens, San Francisco's The Alps are America's premier morning musicians. Put on something like 'Spray,' from their full-length Easy Action, into your wake-up routine, daylight peeking out over the trees and buildings, an abundance of noise and effects co-existing around stern acoustic folk guitar melodies, traditions smashing against one another like metaphysical Japanese monsters to make room for more skies and visible horizons in your life. Featuring Alexis Georgeopolous (Arp), Jefre Cantu-Ledesma (Tarantel) and Scott Hewicker (Troll), the Alps make music that is made to move the mountains in your mind, and help you to take some time for yourself, out of focus from the rest of the world, and think about what you can do today to make the world better." Housed in a fold-out pyramid sleeve; includes download code.
