Biography

Alcest is a French band created by Neige in early 2000. He began writing songs on his own but a few months afterwards [a1900153] (bass) and [a863841] (lead guitar) joined him and his solo project became a real band. While Alcest started out playing raw black metal, after the release of the first demo "Tristesse Hivernale", the sound soon incorporated strong post-rock and shoegaze influences, changing direction and concept in order to explore more intimate themes. The band's name doesn't have any meaning; Neige just chose it for its noble ethereal sound and couldn't imagine any other name in its pronunciation ("Al-sest", IPA: [al'sɛst]) to fit better with this music.

LYRICS

En ouvrant les yeux le matin
Aussitôt la peine m'emplit
Mais parfois je ne ressens rien
Ou juste le vif sentiement
De ne pas être d'ici...
J'aime alors contempler le ciel
Avoir l'impression de m'envoler
vers les nuages qui passent puis s'effacent
Dans le bleu d'une mer sans fin
