Alpine Skies – Announce Debut Album & Launch Show

Dublin alternative-rock duo Alpine Skies today announce their deeply introspective debut album Inspired Conflicts, arriving on April 16th.

Following praise from Simon Le Bon (Duran Duran) and Katy Krassner for their hypnotic debut release ‘By Your Side’, and continued acclaim for singles ‘Walls’ and ‘Blockks’, the duo step forward with an evocative, layered collection of songs shaped by wide skies, still landscapes, and inner journeys.

The band will formally launch the album with an unmissable show upstairs in Whelan’s, Dublin, on April 30th, with special guests to be announced. Tickets available from whelanslive.com

A band born through serendipity and sustained by sound, Alpine Skies (Kevin Homan and Darren Farrell),discovered an instant creative chemistry that would soon unfold into what is their debut album ‘Inspired Conflicts’.

Earning support from Hot Press, Pure M Zine, The Beat, Red FM, Dublin City FM, Duran Duran’s Simon Le Bon and Katy Krassner on Whooosh! (Sirius XM) and more, Alpine Skies’ sound is rooted in melody and emotion, their music fusing cinematic textures with raw lyricism, weaving stories of distance, reconnection, memory, and rebirth. Each song is a window into a world both personal and expansive: Music for those moments when time feels suspended.

Self-produced and recorded with the expertise of Sean Hurley in Little Bear Studios, Dublin, with mastering engineer Gabe Wolf at his home studio in LA, the album features contributions from Lee Tomkins (Aslan), Gavin Fox (Turn/Idlewild) and Paul ‘Binzer’ Brennan (The Frames/The Waterboys/Bellx1).

In Dublin’s buzzing alternative scene, Alpine Skies emerge as a quietly powerful presence, exploring the profound, the everyday, the tangible and the ineffable – finding connection and meaning through inspired conflicts.

Alpine Skies will launch their debut album ‘Inspired Conflicts’ on Thursday, April 30th in Whelan’s (upstairs), Dublin, with special guests TBA.

Tickets available from whelanslive.com
