KLÔ PELGAG

new album “Abracadabra”

(Secret City Records / October 2024)

 

Abracadabra is a quest for the absolute, a desire to still believe in something. For all the knots we have to get out of the way to appear as we really are, without fear or embarrassment. A formula we’d like to see solve everything. A word you repeat to yourself as you stare out of the window. If we keep repeating it, will it end up opening a door inside us? Accompanied by 5 musicians, Klô Pelgag invites us to join her in this constant hunt for fun. In this urgency to create music that pierces as ferociously as our emotions. After all, perhaps the solution lies in the depths of a show, in that rare feeling of sharing something that leads us to recognise the natural magic of things, Abracadabra.

PRESS

(last album)

“Klô Pelgag’s songs aren’t just a display of language in the literary sense (with lyrics that read like poetry) but the music generates landscape and emotion on its own, even without needing to understand the French lyrics. Regardless of a language barrier, Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs can still transport listeners into a universe whether they take in the literal meanings or not.” 8/10 — Exclaim! (Canada)

“Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs feels like a life’s work in 12 songs.” — CBC Music (Canada)

“Last June, Klô Pelgag gave us the excellent Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs. She has a way of creating certain melodies as if they were nursery rhymes, but whose lyrics are infused with profound meaning.” Best Albums of 2020 — FrancoMusique (Ontario)

“In this album, Pelgag continues not to be constrained by genre, with unexpected twists and turns along the way. Take time to indulge in repeat listening to reveal the magnificent complexity of Pelgag’s songs.” #14, 2021-End Top — CBC Music (Canada)

“Pelgag’s latest is a slick, stylish album, which constantly oscillates between moving orchestral performances and quirky synthpop, woven together by Pelgag’s acrobatic voice and soothing arrangements.” The Best Albums of 2020 — 34st (United States)
