Alpine Skies have released “A Long Way,” the lead single from their debut album ‘Inspired Conflicts,’ arriving April 16. The Dublin alternative-rock duo of Kevin Homan and Darren Farrell have been building steadily, drawing praise from Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran and support from Hot Press, Pure M Magazine, and Sirius XM, and “A Long Way” is their most focused statement yet. The track sits at the midpoint of the album and centers on the quiet resilience of people fighting through internal crises they never put on display. The band frames it plainly: “What really underpins the message is the return of self. The regaining of confidence and self worth from within.”
‘Inspired Conflicts’ was self-produced and recorded with Sean Hurley at Little Bear Studios in Dublin, mastered by Gabe Wolf in Los Angeles, and features contributions from Lee Tomkins of Aslan, Gavin Fox of Turn and Idlewild, and Paul “Binzer” Brennan of The Frames, The Waterboys, and Bellx1. The album launches live on April 30 at Whelan’s in Dublin, with special guests to be announced. Tickets are on sale now at whelanslive.com.
