Hailing from central France, Kaolin follow in the footsteps of Noir Désir and
Dionysos with their albums Allez (2002) and De Retour Dans Nos Criques (2004).
Two years later, the band's success came in the form of the upbeat track
"Partons vite", a departure from their usual raucous style. With Kaolin on
hiatus, singer Guillaume Cantillon released a solo album, and rejoined the band,
which reformed in 2010. The comeback is embodied in the albums Kaolin (2010) and
Un Souffle Sur la Roche in September 2013.
