Alfonse - "Dive Into the Light"

If you're a fan of synthpop with a dark, gothic twist reminiscent of the 80s, then Alfonse's "Dive Into the Light" is a track you won't want to miss. Released under the label 79Wave, this piece of music falls into the intriguing genre of Synthpop Gothic/Dark Wave, with a dash of electronica for good measure. Alfonse's musical journey is a tale of vanishing acts and comebacks. He first emerged on the scene back in 2011 and 2012, collaborating with vocalists from Bristol and even sharing a stage with the likes of Bastille at The Croft. However, he then seemingly disappeared, only to reemerge in 2019 from behind the curtains of a shattered FM synth. Since then, Alfonse has been carving a niche for himself on YouTube, crafting tracks solely using 80s keyboards. His music found its way onto the airwaves of BBC Introducing and BBC 6 Music in the UK, as well as onto screens around the world through various TV shows and media placements. Joining Alfonse in this spectral musical journey is the enigmatic Dora Lachaise. Known for her dark and otherworldly soundscapes, Dora has released singles like "Bone Collector" and "I Confess," the latter of which received a haunting remix by Alfonse himself in early 2023. Her ethereal vocals complement Alfonse's synth-driven melodies to create a ghostly tale perfect for Halloween or any time you want to delve into the depths of 80s-inspired goth and synthpop. For those who find themselves drawn to the eerie allure of artists like Sisters of Mercy, Kavinsky, Depeche Mode, and Cocteau Twins, Alfonse's "Dive Into the Light" is a must-listen. It's a sonic journey that resurrects the spirit of 80s goth and synthpop, and with Alfonse and Dora Lachaise at the helm, you're in for an otherworldly experience that transcends time and genre boundaries. So, why not dive into this musical crypt and let Alfonse guide you through the hauntingly beautiful "Dive Into the Light"?
