‘Wreathed in Mourncloud’ is structured upon flowing musical ingredients that make this album more like a theme. The melodies that the duo applies, flow endlessly, but they’re more of the slow-burning kind.
The founders of blackgaze, Alcest, are back with yet another opus!
After a noisy instrumental interlude the music shifts towards a more shoegazy style that is not a million miles away from My Bloody Valentine or closer to home, Alcest, if you’d like.
Let yourself drift off to higher planes with a cascade of beauty and art…
