Vous remarquerez que, chose inhabituelle, KG s’offre un titre de CD à trois mots. Supposons que Pour c’est Falaise, en c’est Côté, et finir c’est St-Onge. Ou vice versa.
Sixième disque du trio, Pour en finir est une réponse à Infininiment, la précédente production. Ensemble, ces deux disques forment une paire de bottines avec lesquelles il vous est possible de prendre une marche, ou l’autre.
Douze pièces composent le corpus de Pour en finir: la plus longue s’éteint après cinq minutes cinq secondes, et la plus courte ne peut dépasser deux minutes vingt-deux. Il y aura bientôt vingt ans que KG s’émeut musicalement, et si l’ensemble a la vie longue, force est de constater que ce trio est irrémédiablement attiré par les formes brèves.
En résumé, le style est habituel, et la musique est normale: parfaite pour toute terminaison.

You will surely notice something unusual here: the title of Klaxon Gueule’s latest CD consists of three words. Let’s say that Falaise could be “Pour”, Côté could be “en”, and St-Onge could be “finir”. Or vice versa.
Pour en finir — an answer of sorts to their previous release, Infininiment — is the trio’s sixth album. These two CDs together might indeed take you a long way in one direction. Or in the opposite one.
Pour en finir features twelve tracks: the longest one stops at five minutes and five seconds, and the shortest one does not exceed two minutes and twenty-two seconds. There will soon be twenty years since KG started, and despite its long life, it is quite clear that the trio is irrevocably drawn to concision.
In short, the style’s usual and the music’s typical: that is to say, it is perfect for any ending.
