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.
