On Shelter, 2014's precursor to Kodama, Alcest sounded like they had finally abandoned metal for dreamy indie pop.
While the direction wasn't new -- founder /multi-instrumentalist Neige had been incorporating shoegaze elements with post- and black metal since the very beginning -- it seemed he and drummer Winterhalter had finally surrendered to them wholly.
Apparently, two years makes a difference.
Here, Neige has rediscovered dynamics and his love for metal without sacrificing his deeply aesthetic lyricism.
