Spectrale are a band from France that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a very hypnotic and esoteric form of acoustic music with some touches of post metal and this is a review of their 2020 album "Arcanes" which was released by Les Acteurs De L'Ombre Productions.
Cello's start off the album while acoustic guitars are introduced on the second track along with some of the songs also being very long and epic in length. Elements of neo folk can also be heard quite a bit throughout the recording as well as some drums also being used on most of the tracks.
Most of the songs are also instrumental while the influence of post rock can also be heard throughout the album. Classical guitars are also added into certain sections of the recording along with most of the tracks also sounding very different from each other and as the album progresses a brief use of operatic female and male vocals can also be heard.
On this recording Spectrale takes their esoteric style of acoustic music and mixes it in with touches of post rock and classical music to take their sound to another level while the production sounds very dark.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Spectrale and if you are a fan of esoteric acoustic music, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Le Soleil" "Le Pendu" and "La Papese". 8 out of 10.
