16. Alcest - Souvenirs D'un Autre Monde (2007)


I don’t know any background about this band, but I can tell you that they’re French and they play amazing tunes. They sound like Aves, and Amesoeurs and I don’t know what else. This band has got their metal roots shining through this post-rock, shoe gaze album and it works out perfectly. I first heard this because the album art is wicked, and I wanted to know what a French rock band would sound like. This is the only album by Alcest I could find, but they also have a great EP called The Secret with only 2 songs, but the playtime is close to twenty minutes. Printemps Émeraude and Souvenirs d'un autre monde were my two favorite tracks. Go, do it.
