ALCEST – ecailles de lune – VINYL LP (arctic pearl)

Three years after their genre-defining record « Souvenirs D'un Autre Monde », Alcest return to the sound of black metal on their sophomore « Écailles De Lune », but without forgetting any of their trademarks: calm passages, massive slabs of guitars, catchy melodies, and hook-lines going straight to the heart. « This time I was especially inspired by the seaside, the energy and the exaltation you can feel when you sit in front of the sea at night, » Neige tries to describe the album's atmosphere. « It appears terribly fascinating, full of secrets and scary at the same time. »
