Une Vraie Gothique interview:  ‘The Goth scene is about celebrating life, with one foot in another world’

Une Vraie Gothique is a French electronic duo formed in Paris in 2023 by Ulrika and Ferdinand Legendre. Their debut album “R.D.V. Au Cimetière” was released by Manic Depression Records, blending EBM, darkwave, and techno into an eclectic dark electronic sound. The project began when Ferdinand helped Ulrika compose a track for a Parisian performance; their shared passion for goth music led to forming the band. Featuring bilingual vocals in German and French alongside corpse paint aesthetics, the duo playfully engages with goth culture clichés while creating genuinely inventive compositions. Musical influences include Suicide Commando and Hocico. The band’s name humorously references goth conventions, originating from a spontaneous creative session inspired by the film “Hellraiser.” Their nine-track debut presents a danceable yet darkly absurdist universe that deconstructs underground electronic music genres rather than merely parodying them.
