I read in an interview that the guy had just listened to a lot of Chapterhouse and MBV for the first time and was inspired to make this instead of another black metal album. To me he nails the classic shoegaze sound more than any other band in the current shoegaze revival scene (not that Alcest has anything to do with that). What's interesting is that it's a black metal musician who was new to the music to make a great shoegaze album while all the MBV-fan-bands in the world still can't.
