NEW Track: Alpines & Maya Jane Cole – ‘Why’

Posted In New Music by

Emo synth pop – always a good thing for your Tuesday.

South London duo Alpines cover Carly Simon’s ‘Why’ as part of their on-going collaboration series which sees them working with various producers such as Dark Sky, Craze + Hoax (Emeli Sande ‘Heaven’) and now Maya Jane Cole. Catherine’s lead vocals carry a cold, emotionless tone in parts (a good thing, in this instance) giving ‘Why’ that essential contemporary edge. I really like that subtle groove, too.
