### **Alternative-electronic duo Alien Gothic presents ‘Shine The Lights’, second dark offering from debut album ‘High and Dry’**

_“The two lead tracks sound closest to A Shoreline Dream… However, ‘Shine The Light’
also exhibits pronounced elements of Bauhaus and Front Line Assembly”_ ~ **Amplify
Music Magazine**

_“Both symphonic and diabolical (in the way that Dante would have used the word),
a blend of gothic electronica and cavernous, squalling anthemics, crashing tsunamis
of sound washing over industrial and angular acoustic structures”_ ~ **Big Takeover
Magazine**

_“A haunting quality… The blend of genres creates a unique and entrancing soundscape
that sets Alien Gothic apart from conventional Gothic Rock acts… The voice gracefully
dances over the music, conjuring images of a lost soul wandering through a desolate
dreamscape”_ ~ **Skylight Webzine**

_“An engaging and enchanting experience… an underlying energy that is both hypnotic
and addictive”_ ~ **Thoughts Words Action**

has been trying to find their way back to the original trajectory they were on previous
to crash landing. Stretching cosmic goth music into a whole new realm, the Denver-
based duo combines all the elements they have been striving to integrate into the
project over the four years since they decided to launch this project.

“Shine the Lights is one of the first that truly formed based on all the layers 
we tossed at it. We pulled out all the tech, and organic instruments to mix this
one up into a whirlwind of cosmic tones,” says **Ryan Policky.**

“It’s a symphony of alien sounds and favorite mellotron moments. It soars like a
massive whale, while being pulled down into tight rhythms and mechanical goth patterns.
A complete experiment that formed a lot of our overall sound… cosmic goth as we 
like to call it.”

Alien Gothic "In The Night"

Alien Gothic creates deep gothic electronica, fused with spatial goth autoharp symphonies,
deep mellotron overtures mixed with noises from unknown origins on the vast hour-
long debut. Themes and words recall events that the duo have had from the far reaches
of the beyond. With deep beats, lush goth rock entwines with psych and shoegaze 
layers to create cosmic, pulsating melodies.

[⌊Alien Gothic⌉⌊Alien Gothic⌉[

Recorded from 2020-2023, Alien Gothic takes a journey out of a world gone mad, to
spread a sound that is immersive and rich with varied instrumentation. Soundscaping
goth is what these artists have become known for elsewhere along the milky way, 
their spectrums now hitting earth to bring forth a dreary alien orchestra, lost 
deep in a dark forest beyond the normal stretches of human imagination.

“It’s something we knew would destroy the seedy, cobweb filled dance clubs of the
past, bringing forth a new era of goth… alien goth!” says **Ryan Policky**.

‘Shine The Light’ is available exclusively via [**Bandcamp**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2faliengothic.bandcamp.com&umid=d431d0d0-117d-495f-b3d8-c33b768d4ee2&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-ada9bfef8fcbb7583a7d73d724fd1912758192da).
