Just an update on the aforementioned Drudkh/Alcest project, titled Old Sliver Key.
Old Silver Key's album is titled "Tides of Wanderings" and is coming out in September.
Apparently Drudkh is going to continue their recent post-rock affection through this project, while next year's Drudkh was explained as a return to the past by their label, Season of Mist. I think everybody wins here, the Drudkh purists get old Drudkh back, the people that loved Handful of Stars get a new project with a vocalist better suited to this type of music.
Here is a new track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZFr8nU3sak
Basically it was exactly what I expected. Dreamy and a bit sleepy until the brilliant final minute. I'm pretty excited.
