A melancholy, post-rock guitar droning over minimal piano strokes serves as the score to a short student-film about a break-up. While the two stars roll out of bed feeling the effects of their bad decisions, the music of Purchase freshman composition major Max Alper sets the mood.

Only three tracks surpass the three-minute mark, but however brief, I’m New Here is a long overdue generational link that reunites the modernization of the artists's influence with its maker.
