Alpenglow is a band intensely influenced by its surroundings. They made their 2014 EP, Chapel, while living in a ramshackle house in a Vermont mountain town, population 588, once home to Robert Frost.

After moving to Brooklyn, Alpenglow’s music gained an urgency and intensity that wasn’t there before. Their focus shifted to beats, grooves, tones, and colors. They started using synthesizers and bought a drum machine. The result was a new sound inspired by exposure to the people, shows, styles, and art of the city. They took this new sound into the studio  to record their first full-length record. They named it Callisto and it came out at the end of February.

This is the rather lovely Solitude from it.
