Out now: Klô Pelgag – Abracadabra

Klô Pelgag has released long awaited record Abracadabra, out now. As a final teaser for the album, Klô Pelgag debuted ‘Le goût des mangues’ which premiered via the magazine Elle Québec, having just returned from Paris, where she launched her new album during an exclusive event for her fans.

About her latest song, Klô whispers enigmatically that “the season is a weapon we must know how to fear.” The song is accompanied by a moving video showing Klô Pelgag and her daughter, unsurprisingly directed by her longtime acolyte Laurence BAZ Morais. He explains the creative process behind this video: “I wanted to visually convey her poetry, by creating a surreal tableau blending intimacy and universality. By including her daughter, I wanted to capture a certain childlike innocence and a connection with nature that fit neatly in Klô’s musical world.”

“Abracadabra is a quest for the absolute, a desire to still believe in something. For all the knots we must untie in order to appear as we really are, without fear or embarrassment,” shares Klô Pelgag.

Each new Klô Pelgag album reiterates the unique place she occupies in the Francophone cultural landscape. Abracadabra is no exception. This time, working alone as a producer, Klô Pelgag has surrounded herself with her stronghold of recent years: Étienne Dupré on bass, François Zaïdan on guitar, Pete Pételle on drums, Virginie Reid on keyboards and Pierre Girard on sound mixing.
