Draft:The Great White Lite of Albynö

The Great White Lite of ALbynö (stylised as THE GREAT WHITE LITE OF ALBYNÖ) is a 2024 underground musical project widely credited with helping to define and commercialise the genre of 'myth rock'. It is the first solo album by alternative musician David Alfonzo.

Release The debut album was posted on the mysterious David Alfonzo's Soundcloud account on March 19 with no warning or prior promotion. Despite coming from total obscurity, it quickly gained traction within multiple music circles, the 'intensely original' (The Needle Drop) and 'deeply emotive' (Pitchfork) 7:34-long epic connecting on a personal level with thousands of fans.

Background and recording Little is known about the background of The Great White Lite of ALbynö, as the enigmatic Alfonzo has posted no other information about the work, or any links to their social media. Some dedicated fans - self-dubbed 'Seekers of the Lite' - have committed their lives to analysing Alfonzo's work and gleaning information about who they are in real life. So far, they have been unsuccessful, but it is near-unanimously agreed upon that the misspelling of 'Light' as 'Lite' is a criticism simultaneously of the US education system and the Vietnam War. David Alfonzo is widely considered to be an artistic genius for uniting people on such important political issues through the power of music. The music itself draws from a large pool of influences, whilst still remaining greatly original. The genre twists from classical to jazz to modern electropop throughout its runtime, but always stays true to its myth rock roots. Retrospectively, The Great White Lite of Albynö is now agreed to be a cornerstone of modern indie myth rock and the quintessential myth rock album for old and new fans of the genre. The world waits with baited breath for the next project of David Alfonzo.
