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, their forthcoming sixth album »Spiritual Instinct« finds Neige at his most personal.

“This time I had something urgent to put on the table,” he explains. “It is a very cathartic record - something needed to get out of me. It’s darker than usual, and heavier.”

Come January 2020 the band will embark on an extensive touring period in support of the record, the deluxe version of which features remixes of 'Sapphire' by celebrated synthwave producer PERTURBATOR and 'Protection' by long-time Chelsea Wolfe collaborator Ben Chisholm, in their own way articulating how 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.” It is this duality that fuels »Spiritual Instinct«’s soul-searching urgency, triumph through adversity writ on transcendent scale.
