L'étoile thoracique
CD
À propos de L’Étoile thoracique, deuxième album de Klô Pelgag, paru en 2016 : « la science-fiction et le réalisme magique de la chanteuse sont ici entrelardés de situations bien tangibles au-delà de leur diffraction poétique – romantisme, désir, abandon de soi, insomnie, réflexion fantaisiste sur les personnages de cire au musée Grévin » **** – La Presse
Carrying an entire universe of baroque, absurd songs, the damsel charms and unsettles us with her gorgeously crafted music driven by an instinctive desire to challenge her own purpose. “What I write is always full of contrasting elements, because I enjoy baffling myself. When everything fits together too neatly, it can quickly become tiresome.” This resulted in the 13 tracks of L’Étoile thoracique, a freewheeling fresco that has the artist weaving a sprawling concerto. This opus also won several awards: the 2017 Prix Rapsat-Lelièvre, the Prix de la chanson SOCAN, a spot on the Long List of the Polaris Music Prize, four Félix awards at the Gala de L’ADISQ (Album of the Year — Critics’ Choice, Alternative Album of the Year, Singer-Songwriter of the Year, Record Producer of the Year), as well as a nomination at the 2018 JUNO Awards (Francophone Album of the Year).
“The lyrics convey images that are alternately clear and impressionistic” – ICI Musique
“With her fluid, mischievous voice, Klô Pelgag never forgets to touch upon the grey, engulfing nuances of melancholia” – Libération
