Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"This trio formed in September 1995, and it hasn't given up since. Bavards, a debut double album in '97, Muets, its follow-up in '99, and Grain in 2002 form a first triptych produced by Ambiances Magnetiques. In 2004, Chicken, an album of songs (but not really) is released by &records. After a five-year hiatus, the trio returns to Ambiances Magnetiques to release their fifth album, Infiniment, which also signals a new acoustic focus. As was the case on Grain and Bavards, KG has augmented its core trio (drums, guitar, doublebass) with a wind trio (Jean Derome, Philippe Lauzier, and Gordon Allen). After standing the test of time, the close-knitted musical relationship between Cote, Falaise, and St-Onge is transcending genres and schools. Their separate music backgrounds encompass a wide spectrum of esthetics and a commanding level of versatility."-Ambiances Magnetiques
