Returning with a potent and powerful new project, Alpine Universe’s latest album KORDÉE feels less like a fully immersive experience. Built around the image of a rope team climbing a mountain together, the record explores connection, resilience, and shared purpose — but it does so without ever sounding heavy-handed.
Musically, KORDÉE strikes a compelling balance between cinematic scale and personal reflection. Huge electronic drums and driving synths sit alongside sweeping strings, guitars, and organic textures from around the world. The production is polished and expansive, yet there’s a warmth running through it that keeps everything grounded. It’s the kind of album that feels just as suited to headphones on a late-night walk as it does blasting through speakers.
Tracks like “Kordée” and “Onward We Go” carry a sense of momentum and uplift, building patiently toward emotional payoffs that feel earned. Meanwhile, “Power of Zero” and “Now Is the Time” lean inward, pulsing with introspection and quiet determination. There’s a philosophical thread woven throughout — questions about individuality, legacy, and humanity’s direction — but it never overshadows the listening experience. This is a one-man journey into creativity, boldness and ingenuity..
