Alpine Decline
One year after spiriting off to China and vanishing along the disintegrating edge of east Beijing, Alpine Decline return with their fourth album, "Night of the Long Knives". Descending from the high altitude visions of their previous records, the duo walks us gassed out and head numb through chaos and time sickness, deep into the ruins of ancient alleyways and naked skyscrapers.
This time under the expansive sonics of producer Yang Haisong, "Night of the Long Knives" is Alpine Decline surfacing from the Beijing haze at the height of their powers, crafting songs with the ghost-memory quality of myths and guiding a twelve song trip deep into the cinematic and stereoscopic landscape of their world, real and apocryphal.
"Night of the Long Knives" will be released late 2012. Visit www.alpinedecline.com to stream the first three albums: "Alpine Decline", "Visualizations", and "消失／Disappearance". Alpine Decline continue their relentless pursuit of the zero in Beijing, with performances in 2012-2013 throughout Asia, Europe, and the US.

在搬到中国并且隐居在北京东部的边缘地带一年之后，Alpine Decline带着他们的第四张专辑“长刀之夜”回来了。从他们之前的唱片的高纬度视野突袭而下，这对二人组带领着我们以陶醉和头脑麻木的姿态穿过混乱和时间的伤痛，进入旧日街道与裸露的摩天大楼的废墟中。
这一次，在制作人杨海崧扩张的音浪之下，“长刀之夜”是Alpine Decline尽其所能对于北京雾气的平面化，用神话中隐秘的记忆特质打造的歌曲，并且引领着一次12首歌的旅行，深入到他们的世界中那些或真实或虚幻的影像和声音的图景之中。
“长刀之夜”将于2012年底发行。在www.alpinedecline.com上可以找到他们之前的三张专辑："Alpine Decline", "Visualizations", 以及 "消失／Disappearance"。Alpine Decline继续他们在北京的无所事事，以及2012和2013年穿越亚洲，欧洲和美国的巡演。

「JUNK 是古代中國獨特的帆船，文獻最早出現於漢朝的《南州異物志》。

與一般西方帆船不同，中國帆船通常有四面帆，在逆風的情況下仍然能夠高速前行，而無需降帆。

帆下有幾個躁動的人，操弄著麻烈的「帆船系」噪音，橫衝直撞、嘶吼亂叫，徘徊在失控邊緣卻又突然肅靜。在這個異奇的世代，試圖圈出了一個個的水上暈眩渦，帶你醉生夢死。」
