Shelter

Alcest's Shelter is a musical gem, the fourth album by these contemporary shoegazers. It's the result of a long, creative journey into new musical horizons. This French band, led by multi - instrumentalist Neige and drummer Winterhalter, combines shoegaze's dreamy guitar textures with the sweet vibes of 80s dream - pop legends Cocteau Twins. The album features epic, soundtrack - like melodies and progressive song structures. Guest stars include Slownave's Neil Halstead, Sweden's Promise And The Monster's Billie Lindahl, and Amiina's strings sections. Recorded in Iceland's Sundlaugin Studio with Sigur Rós producer Birgir Jón Birgisson, Shelter has a light and ethereal sound. Conceptually, the album is about the idea of shelter as a safe haven to escape reality and reconnect with our true selves. Neige found his shelter in the sea, and all the album tracks are inspired by it.

To enjoy Shelter, simply play it on your preferred music - playing device, like a music player app on your phone or a home stereo. You can listen to it when you want to relax, escape the daily hustle, or just enjoy some great music. There aren't any special playing requirements. As for maintenance, if you have a physical copy like a CD, keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and scratches. For digital copies, make sure your device has enough storage space and keep your music app updated. Just sit back, let the music wash over you, and let Shelter take you to its dreamy world.
