The Alps: new album ‘Easy Action’ coming soon on Mexican Summer
March 21, 2011
Easy Action is the new album from SF’s The Alps, out March 29th on Mexican Summer. The noisier parts of “For Isabel” feel more abrasive than Le Voyage, the band’s previous record, but the song also maintains the group’s talents for genre-mixing and lush soundscapes. Below, revisit Le Voyage, streaming in full courtesy of Type Records.
Also, one note about the image above: the LP comes packaged in a “fold-out pyramid sleeve” that looks pretty awesome. Vinyl nerds, has this sort of 3D foldout been done before, or is this a first?
Yeah, One lp had this crazy pyramid that had 8 folds.
