about

Written and recorded by Alfie over the course of a two year recovery from a traumatic brain injury, Goodnight Ellie explores every quarter of the dejection spectrum. Live vicariously through Alfie as you listen to his album, and experience his infatuation and affliction (Inclemencies), regret and yearning (Misdirection), psychosis and coherence (Cold Teeth (part ll)) and finally, his rediscovery. Alfie's utmost inspiration and influence for Goodnight Ellie were the albums Strange cacti by Angel Olsen, and For Emma, Forever ago by Bon Iver. If you are looking to fetishize your sadness, Alfie's debut album is for you. With its visceral and disarrayed feel, you will peer into Alfie's labyrinthine recovery, and find solace in Goodnight Ellie's seamless tour of heartache.
