Recorded at French Drudenhaus Studio with Benoît Roux and written in bursts both during and after a prolonged period of touring in support of 2016’s hugely successful »Kodama,« the new and very cathartic album is leading the blackgaze pioneers into dark soundscapes. The artwork was once again designed by Førtifem.

To round off 2019, ALCEST will be playing a string of festival dates, before embarking on their recently announced, 28-date headline tour in support of »Spiritual Instinct« in February/March 2020, with support coming from BIRDS IN ROW and KÆLAN MIKLA. In addition, the first festival appearances for next year have already been confirmed. All dates can be found below!
