Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Les voyages de l'芒me' sees Alcest further refining their pioneering blackgaze sound, leaning heavily into lush, dreamlike melodies. Neige creates a nostalgic and otherworldly atmosphere, blending blast beats with shimmering, clean guitars and ethereal vocals. It is a beautiful, escapist record that fully realizes the band's vision of a spiritual, fairylike otherworld.
