There is something in KG of a musician who has lived through several lives without ever trying to bury the previous one. The guitars of the 90s, the noise, the blurred melodies, then the machines, the sequencers, the synths, and this more solitary way of building a world of his own.
With Le Règne, la Puissance et la Gloire, Rémy Bux delivers an album that is almost entirely instrumental, where electronics take the lead without erasing what came before. Guitars return like traces. Voices drift through like silhouettes. The rhythms move forward with a cold persistence, while something melodic keeps surfacing underneath.
It is not exactly a club record, nor an ambient record. More like music for a crossing, stretched between domestic science fiction, synthetic romanticism, shoegaze memory and old noise-pop reflexes. With KG, the ghosts of guitars and the call of machines end up speaking the same language.
