Background information über 'Shelter'

"Shelter," the fourth opus from Alcest, marks a pivotal point in their artistic journey. This album is a mesmerizing confluence of dreamy shoegaze textures and the ethereal echoes reminiscent of Cocteau Twins' dream pop aesthetics. With guest appearances by notable artists such as Neil Halstead from Slowdive and contributions from Amiina's string sections, the album creates a rich tapestry of sound that transcends conventional boundaries. Recorded in Iceland at Sundlaugin Studio under the expert guidance of Sigur Rós producer Birgir Jón Birgisson, "Shelter" exudes an airy ambiance that invites listeners into its serene embrace.

Conceptually anchored around the idea of refuge and solace, "Shelter" offers an auditory escape into tranquil landscapes—places where one can reconnect with their innermost self. Neige's lyrical exploration finds inspiration in the sea's vastness and tranquility, an element mirrored in each track's immersive depths and gentle tides. Alcest has crafted a masterpiece that not only pays homage to their musical influences but also carves out a unique niche within the broader music spectrum.
