After several albums that turned to the dark to share their torment and anger, Alcest returned in 2024 with Les Chants de l’Aurore, an opus resolutely focused on the light. The title alone seems to herald a beginning, a renewal, and this feeling continues as you listen to the tracks: L’Envol, Flamme Jumelle, Réminiscence, etc. The emphasis is on beauty, which you feel very, very strongly.
A stylistic description that leaves room for imagination: experimental/post-rock/modern classical quartet. Behind these words lies the music of BRUIT ≤, a band in a class of their own, questioning the major streaming platforms on the track Parasite. Here, meaning counts as much as sound: a complete experience that will open the evening in style.
