An elemental two-piece, completed by long-serving drummer and creative confidante Winterhalter, their forthcoming sixth album \"Spiritual Instinct\" finds Neige at his most personal. \"This time I had something urgent to put on the table,\" he explains. \"It is a very cathartic record - something needed to get out of me. It's darker than usual, and heavier.\" Written in bursts both during and after a prolonged period of touring in support of 2016's hugely successful \"Kodama\", the sense of urgency Neige speaks of manifests in a record full of spontaneity, of immediate impact - be that in the breath-taking pace of the tempo changes in 'Les Jardin de Minuit' or the sun-kissed harmonies over an impermeable back beat in 'Sapphire', one thing \"Spiritual Instinct\" has is riffs, an acknowledgement and celebration of the black metal foundations that anchor their uplifting post-metal. \"Some real metal riffs!\" agrees Neige. \"I come from the metal scene originally and it never really left me; I used black metal as a teen as a way to escape from reality and that's what I love the most about it. It's the best type of music to express overwhelmingly darker feelings. I usually don't speak about my darkness in Alcest's music but this time it felt like something I had to do.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"aec-musictabs\" class=\"ui-tabs ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all\"\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"mt-1\" aria-labelledby=\"MusicTracks\" class=\"ui-tabs-panel ui-widget-content ui-corner-bottom\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-hidden=\"false\"\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"aec-jukebox\" class=\"tracksonly\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"jp-playlist tracksonly\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"discnum\"\u003e- Side 1 -\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e Les Jardins de Minuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e Protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e Sapphire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"discnum\"\u003e- Side 2 -\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e L'île Des Morts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e Le Miroir\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e Spiritual Instinct\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57419534139736,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/8324\/6424\/files\/alcest-spiritual-instinct-import-new-vinyl-lp-740256.jpg?v=1780393151","url":"https:\/\/ateliervinyls.com\/products\/alcest-spiritual-instinct-new-vinyl-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
