Dublin alt-rock duo Alpine Skies share their third original single “Blockks,” closing out a landmark debut year with depth, clarity, and sonic purpose. Kevin Homan and Darren Farrell build the track from a gently insistent piano pulse, slowly adding layered guitars, ambient textures, and choral vocals that reflect tension and renewal. Recorded at Little Bear Studios with Sean Hurley, featuring rhythm work from Gavin Fox and Paul Brennan, and mastered by Gabe Wolf in Los Angeles, “Blockks” flows like an emotional progression shaped by memory and self-realization.
The duo describe the song as a reflection of life’s push and pull. Guitar lines move with both beauty and weight, while a bubbling sub-bass evokes friction with the modern world. The final lyric, “and you’ll be denied,” delivers a quiet punch, a nod to the paradoxes of clarity and resistance. With support from Hot Press, Sirius XM’s Simon Le Bon, and many others, Alpine Skies continue to resonate through honest craft and atmospheric power, building toward the release of their debut album Inspired Conflicts in the new year.
