2014年刚刚发行新专辑《忘忧湖》之后，深山又带来了最新的单曲《长涂岛》。
在广袤山林中回荡的黑金属之声，其实不止属于北方。在南方孤独的海岛上，被海水反复拍打的礁石，日夜交替的潮汐， 与萦绕在森林中无法挥散的迷雾一样，诉说着千万年来挥之不去的痛苦与孤独。
死亡是生命延续当 中的一环，一段旅程的结束也意味着新的生命旅途的开始。将生命放置在浩瀚宇宙中观看，犹如森林中的一片树叶，或海洋中的一颗砂砾，渺小且无助。出生与死亡的轮回中，只有人们心底的欢乐与痛苦亘古不变，我们世代歌颂它们。 山川与湖海孕育了人类，我们向它们索取恩惠并得以生存，也要忍受日出日落、潮涨潮退的枯燥循环。面对终将死去的结局，绝望的呼喊才是我们最真实的心声。
深山，这支披挂着北方山林落叶与浓雾的黑金属乐队，此时伫立在长涂岛的滩涂，面对着凛冽的海风和浑浊浪花，歌唱起我们的宿命。无论我们来自山川或是湖海，都无法摆脱的生命悲歌。

琴箫和鸣，古韵徐歇，森罗万象，一以贯之。

"Kodama" the fifth album from Blackgaze pioneers, Alcest, marks the French duo's ferocious return to the stylistic maximalism of its early albums while continuing the band's relentless pursuit for new sounds and fresh ideas.
"Kodama" is the Japanese word for 'tree spirit' and 'echo' and from the album's structure and dynamics to its cinematic sound, "Kodama" indeed 'echoes' Alcest's 2010 classic, "Écailles De Lune". But this is no simple back-to-the-roots album: the band has more punch, rhythm and organic feel than ever before. While clearly influenced by bands like The Smashing Pumpkins, Tool, Dinosaur Jr, Grimes and The Cure, "Kodama" ultimately reveals itself as Alcest's 'Japanese album', drawing substantial inspiration from Japanese art and culture.
Originally triggered by Hayao Miyazaki's anime film "Princess Mononoke", "Kodama" picks up on the fate of its protagonist and, at its core, deals with the sensation of not belonging; of living in between worlds, be it city and nature or the physical and spiritual one. Duality is also crucial for the visual approach of the album, realized by French graphic designer duo Førtifem. Paying tribute to Japanese illustrators like Takato Yamamoto, the visuals portray contrasting elements like nature/urbanity, youth/death, femininity/animality and combine poetic elements with darker ones that were not present in Alcest's earlier works.
By giving the album a cultural, stylistic and compositional narrative, Neige and Winterhalter keep "Kodama" from just being the latest improvement on the Alcest sound and instead make the album a most rare and exciting thing: a vital, relevant record from a pioneer that not only upholds the band's trailblazing legacy but actually makes you want to see where they go next.
