A duo blending piano, electronics, and layered vocals into moody, textured arrangements.
For a good sense of their mood, try 'Cherche Des Poux' or 'Cette Roche', both show how they layer piano and electronics into something hushed and textured.
Kaolin's music carves out a specific, consistent space for listeners who want atmosphere over pop. Songs like 'Cherche Des Poux' and 'Jusqu'à La Peau' build hazy melodies with spare production, a mix of classical touches and ambient electronics that started on their 2018 album 'Solstice'. They've never chased a commercial sound, which gives their work a focused, modest integrity.
Camille Mekkaoui and Eloïse Decazes formed Kaolin in Paris in 2015, playing small venues while working on their sound. Their first album 'Solstice' arrived in 2018, followed by 'Equinoxe' in 2020 and 'Aurora' in 2022, each continuing their quiet, atmospheric approach.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
