Биография

New York’s Alpenglow (Peter Coccoma, Graeme Daubert, Elori Kramer) has always been a band intensely influenced by their surroundings, but their latest record, Oceans in Between, feels less a product of any specific place than a contemplation of modern placelessness. The record was made in a warm western New York studio filled with obscure 1940s microphones and 1970s synthesizers with producer Hunter Davidsohn (Porches, Frankie Cosmos, Sheer Mag) and mixed in Brooklyn with Sam Cohen (Kevin Morby, Danger Mouse). Recorded over two sprawling years filled with changing homes, relationships, and identities, the album explores the many distances in life: to lovers, friends, parents, and other selves. These are songs built from the tension between moving on and finding comfort in the present. But rather than magnify a sense of alienation or anxiety, the album seeks beauty in distance, ultimately finding solace in the free fall of the in between.
