Album Description
Available in:
"Kodama" (Japanese for "tree spirit" or "echo") is the fifth studio album by French blackgaze band Alcest. It was released on September 30, 2016 via Prophecy Productions. It is a concept album about "the confrontation of the natural world and the human world", inspired by Hayao Miyazaki's film Princess Mononoke. Musically the album is a return to the band's earlier blackgaze style, due to Neige's feeling that he "needed to go for something more punchy, darker, and more personal too." Kodama is also the first Alcest album to feature Indria Saray performing on bass, though he has played with the band live for many years.
On its release, Kodama was met with positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the album received an average score of 87, based on 5 reviews, indicating Universal acclaim .
Fron a review by sputnikmusic --- " Kodama rivals Neige's greatest creation for his most focused and cinematic effort yet. He is still going his own way to outstanding effect, plunging into the familiarly dreamy, yet abstract and complex musical explorations he has always excelled in. Continuing to dominate the fusing of musical styles he unintentionally started, the punchy yet gorgeous qualities of Kodama sees an impressive balance of contrasts, darker and more purposeful than Shelter while evolving triumphantly."
