French shoegaze/indie act Alcest relase their brand new song ‘Flamme Jumelle’. The new album Les Chants De L’Aurore will be released on June 21st via Nuclear Blast Records.
Neige states: “Despite its more accessible vibe, this song is actually the most personal song of the album for me. “Flamme Jumelle”, which means “Twin Flame”, is about the idea of loss in general and the difficulty of coping with the absence of someone you deeply loved. It could be a family member, a friend, or a partner. On a more spiritual level, the title refers to the possibility that certain souls are connected in this life and beyond, and that separation is temporary and just a mortal concept.”

About 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, 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.”
