Alcest — Beings of Light

Good morning, Sunday.

Numéro# - Méduses
An amazing song by this group!  I’ve been listening to it on repeat.  :D

I kinda feel like I’ll never appreciate Amesoeurs the way they intended.  I love the city.  I love the ugly.  I love it because I feel it’s necessary to keep the ugly out of the rest of the world.  hyper-dense and unnatural in one corner, as natural as possible everywhere else.

I don’t think American cities can really compare to European cities.  Houston & Austin are big cities but they’re newer.  Boston and NYC both left me overwhelmed with their buildings, age, amount of people, etc., but I think standing at a corner of a street in any European city with their old buildings, narrower streets, etc., casts a whole new light on the atmospher.

I think Neige was correct in saying that they play metal from Gotham City — the music & lyrics definitely describe the loneliness and the overwhelming sense other-worldliness (and maybe wrongness) found in foggy, dark, dirty cities like the fictional Gotham City.   (video via hikingmetalpunk)

Awesome music video from a very small French band.  I don’t know how they afford to make these music videos, but I don’t care.  :)
