Shelter

Alcest

A sun-drenched pivot to pure dream pop. Shimmering guitars and oceanic strings replace all traces of metal with warm, salt-aired serenity.

Find on Amazon

It's Alcest's 'vacation at the beach' record, where the metal melts into pure, shimmering sunlight.

A radiant, sun-drenched peace that feels like a physical sanctuary from the world.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the ambient intro into the bright, driving guitar lead of Opale.
Neil Halstead's guest vocals on Away, sounding like a lost Slowdive classic.
The ten-minute finale of Delivrance, where the wordless choral vocals reach a peak of pure bliss.
