Keir Neuringer weaves together experimental rock, political folk, free improvisation, psych/drone, and spoken word. He performs on saxophone, in intensely physical circular breathing improvisations that honor and build upon diverse music-making traditions, or on a vintage Farfisa organ, while simultaneously drumming and singing.

Alpenglow transforms original songs rooted in the folk tradition into a collection of finely crafted arrangements that are sprawling, moody, and wholly their own. Their music has been described as "swooning, harmony-laden stuff...laced with arcing fiddle, shimmering keys and healthy doses of ringing guitar punch."THE FIRS are a neat little band from Albany.
