New Alcest song from their forthcoming album Shelter:
Certainly something a bit different and a move in a more lighter dream-pop direction. It's okay I guess but nothing special. I know they couldn't stay combining black metal and shoegaze influences forever but I feel that on Souvenirs d'un autre monde and Écailles de Lune they had a sound that was their own. With the song above there's nothing really distinctive about it as such or anything to make me look forward to their new album more. A new direction might have some potential but they really need to deliver something special on the new album.
