It's been over two years since we've heard new music from Alpines. Their debut album Oasis earned them high-profile fans such as The xx and Florence Welch, and now the London duo - Catherine Pockson and Bob Matthew - are back with a gorgeously seductive new offering. With its hypnotic, sampled vocal and Pockson's beautifully beguiling melody sitting atop Matthew's intuitive RnB-infused beats, the pair have created something special. Sophisticated, sultry and emotionally-charged, it is 'Completely' the comeback Alpines fans have been longing for. -G.O'B
