Alpine
Higher than 94% of albums we've rated

Its concise songs, angular dance pulse and dry vocal stance make a coherent, recognizable debut; the writing is sharp, though not uniformly deep.

What we noticed

  • The original twelve-track sequence closes with the title song; the three tracks listed after it appear to be later additions and are excluded from the album's pacing.
  • Most songs are compact and driven by clipped guitar and bass figures, with keyboards adding bright, sharply placed accents rather than long instrumental passages.
  • Federico Moura’s cool, lightly detached vocal sits against brisk dance rhythms, while the lyrics turn toward modern habits, rock posturing and social satire.

Significant within its genre. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
