Alcest announces ‘Les Chants de l’Aurore’ album out June, publishes a single and an album art by Yoann Lossel

French shoegaze/indie band Alcest announces their seventh album “Les Chants de l’Aurore“, out June 21st via Nuclear Blast Records.

The band has revealed the cover art for the album, made by a renowned Art Nouveau painter Yoann Lossel, who also directed the music video ”L’Envol”. Yoann comments on YouTube:

We had the great pleasure of making this music video with my partner Psyche and my dear friend Cedric. The clip was shot on the night of June 21, the summer solstice, in the Broceliande forest where we live. And by coincidence of the calendar, we finished the animation on the night of December 21, at the winter solstice. Six magical months working on a work from the Other World. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it.
