Alan Wilder used to be the keyboardist of ’80s synthpop legends Depeche Mode. (You may recall a little tune called “Enjoy the Silence”? It was Wilder who turned Martin Gore‘s demo into a dance track and one of the most commercially successful songs in the band’s history. Certainly one of my favorites.) These days Wilder is recording under the name Recoil, writing and producing less pop, more experimental music than was “allowed” in his Depeche days. The results are trippy and haunting, in a good way. Catch Wilder live on the dates below.
