About Alpines

Alpines is UK duo Bob Matthews and Catherine Pockson. Alpines' new album 'Full Bloom', out 16th November 2018, is the high watermark of their career so far. It’s the consolidation of years of hard graft, as Bob Matthews and Catherine Pockson’s creative journey finds affirmation in staying true to their musical process. While their core influences have always revolved around the music they grew up listening to, Full Bloom is confidently eclectic in its frame of reference and comes across as their most sure-footed work yet. Prince, Aaliyah, Frank Ocean, Lauryn Hill, Aretha Franklin, Erykah Badu, D’Angelo, Kelela, ‘90s rave culture and Massive Attack are just some of the muses channelled in this new work. Having carved a cult following in alternative pop, Alpines’ journey has also seen collaborations with Sub Focus and Lana Del Rey (whose ‘Blue Jeans’ they were invited to remix) and shows with The xx, Florence + The Machine, Emeli Sandé and more. Full Bloom: lush, dynamic and uninhibited is the sound of Alpines hitting their stride.
