Alphonsine

Alphonsine’s music is a voyage of the soul - to places familiar, places we yearn for, places where the heart thrives. A prolific songwriter, he has “soft” released a handful of independent albums under different monikers. His first release, “Alphonsine” is a 16-song set that served as his official debut. “He had so many incredible previously released songs that deserved a re-introduction to new audiences,” says Manager Bryan Master. “Our idea was to re-package some of the best of his back catalogue with new material to make a bulletproof official debut. Cohesively, its one of the strongest albums I’ve ever heard.” “To me his original work is more akin to Nick Drake and Elliot Smith,” says fellow SOUND + FISSION artist Don McCloskey. “A whispered universe where melancholy, joy, heartache, yearning, memories, dreams, and visions hover just above the ground, winding through Manhattan streets, in and out of East Village bars, through bedroom windows of Brooklyn apartments, barreling down the interstate, westward bound, breaking wide open into Big Sky Country in search of an elusive place called home.”
