Vallis Alps - Cleave

Cleave is the debut studio album by Australian electronic music duo Vallis Alps, released in August 2023 via Vallis Alps and The Orchard.

Vallis Alps debut album, Cleave, includes previously released singles 'Set It Off, Set It Right', 'On The Eve Of The Rush' and 'Higher Than This', along nine other previously unreleased tracks.

In its most distilled form, Cleave reflects upon the acts of cleaving throughout Parisa Tossif and David Ansari's individual journeys. A defining statement of evolution, the album dissects the desperation of life at its most turbulent, where severance gives way to strength.

Depicting the divides of life in all its distinct and emotional stages from family to vocation, migration and just plain living, Cleave highlights the two halves of Vallis Alps, capable of flourishing alongside one another no matter how different they may be at their core. A reflection of their friendship and siblinghood, closer than ever before.

This album is on black vinyl housed in a single pocket sleeve with a printed insert, pressed in Australia via Vallis Alps.
