Alcest's 'Ecailles de Lune' 12 - inch vinyl is a masterpiece. Three years after the genre - defining 'Souvenirs D'un Autre Monde', Alcest revisits black - metal sounds on this sophomore album. Yet, they haven't lost their trademarks: serene passages, heavy guitar riffs, catchy melodies, and heart - touching hooks. Neige describes the album's atmosphere as being inspired by the seaside at night - a place full of energy, exaltation, mystery, and a touch of fear. The track list includes 'Écailles de Lune - Part 1', 'Écailles de Lune - Part 2', 'Percées de Lumière', 'Abysses', 'Solar Song', and 'Sur L'océan Couleur de Fer'.
Using this 12 - inch vinyl is easy. Just place it on your record player, gently drop the needle on the start of the groove, and enjoy the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt or oil on it. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place, and keep it upright in a record sleeve to prevent warping. If the vinyl gets dirty, you can use a record cleaning brush to gently remove dust from the grooves. Also, be careful when removing and inserting the vinyl from the sleeve to avoid scratching the surface.
