Split EP

This was a really enjoyable split EP from two French bands, Alcest and Les Discrets. One of the cool connections, is that a member of Les Discrets was previously part of Alcest, so there’s a strong musical and creative overlap. This EP is a great blend of post-metal and blackgaze, but each band brings its own flavor to the table. Alcest leans more into dreamy shoegaze textures with cleaner, chiming tones layered against moments of harshness, while Les Discrets offers a denser, more melancholic sound with doom laced guitar work.
