As the world we live in grows darker and more bewildering with every passing day, the transformative power of music has never been more vital. Formed in the small French town of Bagnols-sur-Cèze at the dawn of the century, underground icons Alcest have always been clear about their desire to transport listeners to somewhere different, somewhere better. Led by founder and multi-instrumentalist Neige, the French artists have been one of the most consistently radical voices in all of heavy music, with a sound that eschews metal’s often myopic devotion to casting shadows, in favour of a sublime blend of darkness and blinding bright light.
Likewise, Agriculture, claw toward the divine through noise, channeling Zen Buddhism, historical collapse and ecstatic grief, as demonstrated on 'The Spiritual Sound', their acclaimed sophomore record. Agriculture doesn’t offer salvation. The Spiritual Sound isn’t a map out of the fire. What it offers instead is presence: a confrontation with the moment, however unbearable, however divine.
In Alcest and Agriculture, audiences will be treated to two of alternative music’s most thrilling and rapturous double-bills to grace Bristol in 2027.
