A is for Alpine is the North American debut album by the Australian band, Alpine. The album was chosen by iTunes as the Australian Alternative Album Of The Year and the group has already toured with Kimbra and Sia and they played at SXSW earlier this year as well.
The six member band features the lush vocals of Lou James and Phoebe Baker singing over catchy, slick guitar riffs making for a dreamy musical escape. Standout tracks include “Gasoline,” “Hands,” “Villages,” and “All For One.”
Check out their video for Gasoline…
The band will tour the United States in June supporting Crystal Fighters.

A couple of vidcaps of Sarah Barthel, lead singer of Phantogram. First is from a live peformance at Moog Sound Lab. Second is from their video “Mouthful of Diamonds.” Is it just me or does the video remind you of the movie Haute Tension. (if you haven’t seen it, it’s a great thriller!) Click the pic for the full-sized version.
The image gallery has been moved to images.sirensofsong.com. Over 300 images have been uploaded already and hundreds more will be added over the next few weeks. Current galleries include Britney Spears, Christina Aguileara, Dido, Bjork, Gwen Stefani, and more.
A fan of Harriet Wheeler and the Sundays recently turned me onto Lavender Diamond. Check out their single “I Don’t Recall” from the album Incorruptible Heart. It’s amazing how much lead singer Becky Stark sounds like Harriet. And that’s said with nothing but the utmost respect for both!
After you get over your amazement, check out the entire album. It’s definitely worth a listen!
You can hear “I Don’t Recall” and other songs from Lavender Diamond on Sirens of Song Radio.
Skye Edwards, lead singer of the trip hop group Morcheeba, performed at Hotel Cafe in Hollywood, CA last night.
