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".

Kodama is a music studio album recording by ALCEST (Experimental/Post Metal/Progressive Rock) released in 2016 on cd, lp, vinyl and/or cassette. I read something somewhere that said this was their "Japanese" album. I don't know what a "Japanese" album is, though I've always liked that song Sukiyaki. I guess, yes, Neige said it was influenced by the film Princess Mononoke.

Kodama is also the first Alcest album to feature Indria Saray performing on bass, though he has played with the band live since 2010. Untouched' was the first song written for this album, followed by the title track 'Kodama'. These two songs (especially Kodama) kind of forged the sound of the whole album. Through them I could foresee the album's shape and identity and the further direction I wanted to take for the rest of the album.
