I don't know how I missed the existence of Sylvaine. I've been listening for Alcest for quite a while now, as this genre resonates so greatly with my spirits. I discovered Sylvaine after a YT suggestion of their show filmed by Arte at Hellfest 2024. And I'm glad I clicked on the video. This is so great! Incredibly dense emotionally, beautiful voice which can go from the skies to the darkness of the souls with these screams. Really impressive work. I hope I can see Sylvaine live soon !

Brilliant album with such a beautiful atmosphere. And it gets even more intense live. I had the wonderful chance to see Sylvaine in Marseille and it was a blast.
Favorite track: Mono No Aware.

Echoing the impermanence of all
In this place so real, once lost, then gained
The same wave, repeating again
Over and over again
Our perpetual chain
To accept and let go
Harder than you'll ever know
Watching as everything changed
Nothing will ever be the same
I see your pain, hush now, don’t wane
For you are not mistaken
All the wonder
Happens to be
Just what we were
Sent here to feel
Vast memories to touch
A bittersweet air whispers
This worldly existence too much
Feeling the certitude fissure
All tangible to wither
You need to fade away
So I can truly see you
Show me the meaning
Of being alive
Nothing lasts forever
That's the beauty of it all
We give, we take
We love, we break
Too hard to recognize
The sweet, cruel pace of life
Watch you fade
Once here
See you now
Almost gone
Fading, I
See you now

Sylvaine - Nowhere, Still Somewhere Lyrics
Loosing touch with the ground
Watch as I lift off
Not here, yet not there either
Nowhere, still somewhere
Wanting dearly to run
Further and further away
Keep floating, no escape
Perpetually gone astray
Trying to control, just to fail
Not able to persevere
Disconnection between what is
And what clearly should be
Leaving me breathless, bare, brittle
Trying to flee reality
Transient actuality
No way to disagree
Everything once clear and true
No longer exposed to me now
Looking forward, moving back
Reach out, never able to grasp
Lost touch with the ground
Watch as I lift off with spirits downed
Not here, yet not there either
Nowhere, still somewhere
Nowhere
Still somewhere
Long impaired
Not spared
Nowhere
Still somewhere
Now unpaired
So scared
