Neige comments: "Our long time friend and collaborator William Lacalmontie followed us during our last European tour promoting « Les Chants de L’Aurore » in order to make a music video documenting our experience and the shows we have been playing every night. I asked him not only to focus on the band but also pay homage to our fans, our crew, our community who have been so supportive to us since the early days of Alcest. This video is the way we found to tell you thank you.

Our world tour is keeping on in North America from February to mid March, and then we will go to Asia. We Iive such a beautiful adventure, and all this would be impossible without your love and support. Take care and see you very soon again!"

About ALCEST:
For principal songwriter and frontman Neige, ALCEST has always been a gateway to the otherworldly, a means of exploring his spirituality. An elemental two-piece, completed by long-serving drummer and creative confidante Winterhalter, ALCEST seem to dip their toes in a multitude of musical genres without ever quite fitting in. “In the metal scene ALCEST is a weird band, in the indie/post-rock scene ALCEST is a weird band- we never quite fit in,” Neige reflects. “This is how I feel in life, always an outsider; It’s not a problem, it’s just the way it is.”

ALCEST is:
Neige | vocals, guitars, bass, synths
Winterhalter | drums

ALCEST - RELEASE NEW SONG 'FLAMME JUMELLE'

April 18, 2024

Today French shoegaze/indie act ALCEST relase their brand new song 'Flamme Jumelle'. The new album Les Chants De L'Aurore will be released on June 21st via Nuclear Blast Records.

Neige states:
"Despite its more accessible vibe, this song is actually the most personal song of the album for me. "Flamme Jumelle", which means "Twin Flame", is about the idea of loss in general and the difficulty of coping with the absence of someone you deeply loved. It could be a family member, a friend, or a partner. On a more spiritual level, the title refers to the possibility that certain souls are connected in this life and beyond, and that separation is temporary and just a mortal concept."

ALCEST - Announce New Album Les Chants De L'Aurore + Release 'L'Envol'

February 23, 2024

This summer will see the release of a long awaited gem: Today, French shoegaze/indie act ALCEST announce the release of their seventh album Les Chants De L'Aurore for June 21st.

Neige states:
"'L'Envol' is a musical return to the atmosphere of Alcest's first albums. I wrote this song after an inspiring trip to Corsica, where I met amazing people and was surrounded by some of the most unique landscapes I have ever seen. It is about escaping from earthly reality to join a flock of mythical birds flying through the known boundaries of our world. The song is accompanied by a music video created by the talented French artist Yoann Lossel, who also designed the album cover. For this first single release, we wanted the music, lyrics and visuals to be as coherent and immersive as possible. All the tracks on Les Chants de l'Aurore are very different from one another, but we thought this one would be a great introduction to the overall atmosphere and themes of the album."

The pre-order will start soon. To celebrate the announcement, the band shares a new song, 'L'Envol', together with an outstanding music video that you can watch here. The music video for 'L'Envol' as well as the artwork for Les Chants De L'Aurore was created by Yoann Losel.
