About Recoil

Recoil is a solo musical project created by Alan Wilder, a former member of the influential band Depeche Mode. Established in the late 1980s, Recoil allowed Wilder to explore his interests in electronic and ambient music, diverging from the mainstream pop sound of his previous band. His work with Recoil has been critically acclaimed for its experimental nature and atmospheric soundscapes.

Recoil’s music delves into complex emotional landscapes, often addressing themes like unfulfilled desires, power dynamics, and dark obsessions. Wilder's lyrics and compositions create a haunting and introspective atmosphere, inviting listeners to explore the darker sides of human experience. Over time, Recoil's work has continued to push boundaries, maintaining a unique and compelling artistic vision.
