about

In the Spring of 2010, their self-titled debut still cooling on the racks, Alpine Decline left the sun-stained Sierra Nevada to trek through China from the Eastern capital to the Himalaya peaks in Tibet. Returning to the studio - this time working with L.A. experimental artist M. Geddes Gengras (Robedoor, Pocahaunted, The Congos) - the duo poured all the captured spirits of their journey into "Visualizations", a ten-track-trip that revels in their expanded visions.

Though clearly a rock album, the songs on "Visualizations" seem to emerge from a more fleshed out landscape, with the guitars and drums rising up from a mist of drones that are sometimes ghostly and sometimes the full-throated OM of the otherworld. The songwriting and melodic craftsmanship, with vocals ripped up and glued together on magnetic tape, is more fleshed out than their debut, their identity more firmly realized, from the heart-pounding "Enter the Bullet" and "CCTV" to the mournful dreams of "The Fever Subsides" and "Deeper into the Part". "Visualizations" lets you travel with Alpine Decline through provinces of electronic waste and shadow-warped night markets, dropping you off at the final notes short of breath but exhilarated.
