Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"The three musicians in Klaxon Gueule have been struck mute since they released Bavards, a legacy of rock and free jazz in an electrolyptic alloy. But for Muets, their second CD, this came about of their own free will-a vow of silence taken in the interests of the music. What was a power trio is now an electroacoustic chamber ensemble, the music restrained and sustained."-Ambiances Magnetiques
