Klô Pelgag - N Nao

"a rich listening experience, providing a range of different sounds, sensibilities, soaring Kate Bush-esque vocals and gorgeous strings"

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. But if we keep repeating it, will it end up opening a door inside us?

Accompanied by five 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.

N NAO

N NAO, also known as Naomie de Lorimier, is a Montréal-born and based artist. For millions of years, she has explored experimental romance by way of music, performance and video. Her compositions employ an ecofeminist approach inspired by dreams and daily rituals. Her second full-length, L’eau et les rêves (March 24th, 2023 via Mothland) re-contextualized traditional singer-songwriter music by aptly blurring the line between electronic and organic sounds. Celebrated by the public and the industry alike, the album made the Long List for the 2023 Polaris Music Prize. “The latest album from Naomie de Lorimier’s aquatic pop outfit taps into the sensation of lucid dreaming to express the grandeur of the natural world.” (FLOOD Magazine) In the Spring of 2024, N NAO returned with Miroir (April 30th, 2024 via Mothland), an EP in the form of a tryptic piece around the themes of witchcraft, secrecy and spirals. Produced alongside Sylvain Deschamps (Klô Pelgag, Flore Laurentienne, VioleTT Pi), the mini-album was accompanied by a music video shot on film in collaboration with Léa Taillefer, which was selected for POP Montreal’s official video showcase. Noticed for her magical stage presence, Naomie collaborated with numerous artists including Laurence-Anne, Klô Pelgag, Safia Nolin, Joni Void, Marie-Pierre Arthur, Crabe, Zouz, Jonathan Personne, and Lumière. With her solo project, N NAO acted as main support for the likes of Sarah Pagé, Jessica Moss, Ariane Moffatt, Patrick Watson, and Water from Your Eyes. Over the past year, she took part in POP Montreal, Sled Island (Calgary, AB) as well as SXSW (Austin, TX), also performing in Paris, FR and Berlin, DE. Les Inrocks describes her concert as follows: “Between auto-tuned vocal harmonies, electroacoustic loops and ethereal ambient sounds lurking behind the machines, the musician follows in the footsteps of Jenny Hval, while also extending a bridge between [...] Portishead and Aphex Twin’s Drukqs.”
