...may you know it already but Alcest signed at Prophecy Productions...
...I really like the EP as well as the other projects and friends (Amoseurs and Les Discrets)...
After making a small stir in the Black Metal underground with their 2004 mini-CD Le Secret, ALCEST have musically left their origins in that scene far behind them. Their music manages to evoke a spring-like atmosphere full of beauty, intense joy and light, but also yearning and nostalgia. It brings to mind memories of the innocence and bliss of a childhood long past as well as impressions of a fantastic realm of perfect harmony.
Bearing in mind the roots of multi-instrumentalist Neiges one-man project, this concept and its musical expression are nothing less than revolutionary, and hence Prophecy Productions and ALCEST are equally proud of having laid the foundation for a long-lasting cooperation with a contract over five records.
The first testimony of this collaboration will be the projects debut album, Souvenirs dun autre monde, to be released in summer, a record that already now can be regarded as a peerless landmark. To fill in the time until the release, you can listen to some sound samples here: www.myspace.com/alcestmusic.
