"Shelter" is the fourth album by contemporary shoegazers Alcest, the destination of a long creative musical journey into vast new territories. More than ever, the French outfit embraces the dreamy guitar textures of shoegaze and blends it with the sweetness of British band Cocteau Twins- dream pop pioneers of the mid to late 80's era, epic, soundtrack-like melodies and progressive song structures. The album, which also features a guest appearance from Slowdive's Neil Halstead, was recorded at Sundlaugin Studio, Iceland, with Sigur Rós producer Birgir Jón Birgisson, who masterfully gave "Shelter" its light and ethereal sound.
The limited 2CD deluxe edition is packaged with a 48 page hardcover book (7x7 inches) includes a bonus track.
An upcoming announcement in the form of a video; Voicecoil are a Denver based Futurepop act, nesting their roots in the early 2000s sound made popular by acts such as Colony 5 and Glis.
Melodic, catchy and traditional, Voicecoil are both a direct response to nay-sayers of the Futurepop revival, and a talented new sound by themselves.
Expect an album with Juggernaut Music Group shortly.

Synopsis:
Set against the sexy, glamorous golden age of Formula 1 racing in the 1970s, the film is based on the true story of a great sporting rivalry between handsome English playboy James Hunt (Hemsworth), and his methodical, brilliant opponent, Austrian driver Niki Lauda (Bruhl). The story follows their distinctly different personal styles on and off the track, their loves and the astonishing 1976 season in which both drivers were willing to risk everything to become world champion in a sport with no margin for error: if you make a mistake, you die.
