about

米サンフランシスコを拠点に活動するトリオThe Alps（アルプス）のファースト・フルアルバム。本作は「JeweltGalaxies」、「Spirit Shambles」の２部構成となっており、それぞれ現在は廃盤となってしまったRoot Strata（200枚限定CDR）、Digitalis（150枚限定CDR）からリリースされていたものをカップリングして編集し直し、ファースト・アルバムとして構築した作品。

ウッド・フルート、タブラ、オーケストラ・ベル、エレキ・ギター、オムニコード、マイク、クラリネット、バイオリン弓、アコースティック・ギター、オルガン、シェイカー、ミキサー、電子エレクトロニクス、タンバリン、フロアタム、ボンゴ、シンバル、声、カセットテープ、ソリの鈴など２０種類以上の楽器を使って制作しており、録音は全てメンバーの１人であるScottのリビングルームでマイク１本で行われています！

楽曲スタイルであるにも関わらず、限りなくラフな演奏と理屈抜きに心地よい響きが同居したそのサウンドは、まるで自我と離れたところで全てが成立しているような、奇跡的調和を聞かせます。

JEWELT GALAXIES/SPIRIT SHAMBLES is their 1st full album collecting the first two CDR releases from The ALPS.

Following a specially tuned internal compass that leads them from open meadowsand rushing rivers to urban chaos and decay, The Alps use a variety of soundsources (Wooden Flute, Tabla, Orchestra Bells, Electric Guitar, Omnichord,Microphone, Clarinet, Violin Bow, Acoustic Guitar, Organ, Shakers, Mixer, Voice,Cassette Tape, Sleigh Bells), This was recorded with one microphone in ScottHewickers's living room mostly in one session on November 14 2005 and a bit inAugust earlier in the year.

Of their debut JEWELT GALAXIES, the good people at AQUARIUS RECORDS hadthis to say : "Glistening meditative soundscapes well-suited to gazing at frostymountain peaks such as those of their namesake. Squeaky clarinets and alienflute melted into whirls of swish and whoosh, all laid over drones andinstrument hum and tape hiss. Quite beautiful."
