Alcest – Les Voyages de l’Âme
Today saw the release of Alcest’s long awaited (at least by me) third full-length, with a long French name I do not care to write again, but which translates as The Voyages of the Soul . Pretty interesting title. As of today the whole album is uploaded on Youtube, so I’m just picking out some of the highlights for you to listen to, before you buy this beauty.
Ok, wait. I won’t get you any highlights because there are none. This is one big fucking highlight to me. So at the end I will just dump you a link to a Youtube playlist with the whole album and I’ll wish you a whole lot of epic fun with this for the next hour.

This whole album is just fabulous. The album version of Autre Temps, of which we posted the video last year, is even more beautiful, and everything just went into the right direction. What else is there to say? Nothing, but to tell you to go there. And I’m not doing anymore typing because else to many swearing will come out. SO GO HERE NOW!!

Ordered this. Getting it next tuesday. However, don’t expect a review, because I’ll be found passed out on the ground with this album on autoplay.

The guy’s previous album made me drive like an old granny. So I’m catching your drift!

HAHAHA, I believe this is even better, (or worse).

It’s in already! They kindly posted it to my house in stead of the shop, free of charge. I’m a happy boy now.

Where did you order it then? Meaning: what record store in the Netherlands would cell such an ‘obscure’ band as Alcest when they can sell Rihanna?

Free record shop. They just ordered it from their computer. E12,50 “geen geld” for an album 2 weeks old.
