Now based in the sun-baked delirium of Los Angeles, Alpine Decline - who cut their teeth with the Beijing indie scene and Maybe Mars over ten years ago continues honing their dystopian rock and roll sound with their latest tour across China. Led by vocalist and guitarist Jonathan Zeitlin and drummer Pauline Mu - with unofficial third wheel Yang Hailing (of PK14) holding his own on bass - the band is a nostalgia hit of of psychedelia, shoegaze, noise rock, and 90s indie - shifting across venues genres - including their more recent shift toward cosmic-Americana - striking a warmly tender and euphoric sound that comes across like the cosmic lovechild of bands like Simon & Garfunkel, Tama Impala, Cass McCombs, and 70s era psych pop. One of my favorites - catch them tear shit up over at Yuyintown Basement with support of emerging post punk outfit Fiery Medusa.
