Burgen - Alpestre

Review by Dennis Graves

Alpestre, the latest album by Burgen, is a mesmerizing musical journey through the Alps. The album is a beautiful blend of traditional Alpine folk music and modern electronic beats, creating a unique sound that is both soothing and invigorating.

The album opens with "Alpstein," a hauntingly beautiful track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The use of traditional instruments such as the alphorn and accordion, combined with modern electronic beats, creates a sound that is both nostalgic and fresh.

The album's title track, "Alpestre," is a standout track that showcases the band's ability to create a truly unique sound. The track begins with a slow and steady beat, building up to a crescendo of electronic beats and traditional Alpine instruments.

Other standout tracks on the album include "Bergkristall," a dreamy and ethereal track that features the haunting vocals of lead singer Maria, and "Gletscher," a pulsating track that will get your heart racing.

Alpestre is a fantastic album that showcases Burgen's ability to blend traditional Alpine folk music with modern electronic beats. The album is a must-listen for anyone who loves music that is both soothing and invigorating.
