On Seeing Red, lifted from debut record A Is For Alpine, the Melbourne sextet nail a decidedly sexy groove. The payoff is a blush-inducing orgasmic breakdown, capping off an intoxicatingly splendid and restrained jam. Alpine deal in pristine, organic tones and they do it well. There are better tracks on the album, but Seeing Red still holds up as a worthy example of modern Australian pop.
