The brainchild of Nada Surf frontman Matthew Caws and singer/songwriter and ex-Blake Baby Juliana Hatfield, Minor Alps utilize elements from both of the veteran alt-rockers' repertoires, serving up an evocative blend of shimmering indie pop and autumnal electro-folk that lands somewhere between Junip, Bon Iver, and Dean + Britta. The duo shared writing and vocal duties on their Barsuk-issued debut, 2013's Get There. ~ James Christopher Monger
