Behind the Scenes with Alcest

[@danielarmstrong2117]

Just paused this to write out that this is best interview with Neige that’s out there. The level of depth to the questions are very much what most fans want to know and what most other interviewers fail to explore. Other interviewers just tend to skim over a lot of this stuff, despite these details being the heart of his concept. He seems very comfortable in this interview, maybe reason for the more in depth answers. Just wanted to say, great job and I’d love to see more of Neige eventually!

We love you Neige! Thank you for making some of the best music in the world 💕

[@Phyllobius]

I met him once and he’s both inspiring, outspoken and very nice in person. We need more artists like him.

Keep in mind guys: Neige made Blackgaze WITHOUT even knowing what Shoegaze.

[@manfredvonrichthofen8293]

Neige listens dream pop and shoegaze more than black metal.

[@mozzerianmisanthrope406]

This made me laugh so hard, for some reason.

[@metal4ever196]

Alcest didnt invent anything, stop saying dumb things over the internet. They are a great band but the real MAKERS of that BLACKGAZE sound are ULVER and AGALLOCH. Alcest are like the Nirvana of Blackgaze. Just like Nirvana that took the sound from old bands like Green River, Soundgarden, Sonic Youth and The Melvins. Nirvana didnt invent anything they just made the perfect formula and made it accessible to the masses

Neige is so pure, he moves me in a very unique way

[@WiltshireHare]

Excellent interview. Merci!

I like how Neige can speak English pretty well but he doesn't sing in English just because he can, IMO that would ruin the sound of Alcest if they ever did a full English Spoken Album.

[@AtrocityEquine01]

Consider their music is a combination of french and usually sound annunciation, it fits. They have sung an English song on Shelter, but Neige only provided back vocals for it and Neil Halmstad of Slowdive sang the entire song.

[@ninechurches2502]

Listen to Lantlôs, neon. Album. He songs in English in it and it's very soothing.

[@icepickenglish5874]

Nothing can ruin music if the talent is put in, and Alcest is a lot of talent

[@ravenfeathesDVM]

Icepick English Whatever language it doesn’t really matter. They rock! 💕

[@cordeliaharrisson3922]

I think he speaks flawlessly - which is lucky for me because I wouldn't understand any french interviews and I'm very interested in what he has to say. Very eloquent.

[@mateuscoelho3576]

Great interview! I appreciate the original questions you asked.

[@isleofmist-music]
