Rock/post-rock project Kwoon, led by visionary guitarist and composer Sandy Lavallart, releases Swan (Acoustic), a delicate and breathtaking highlight from their upcoming Unplugged album. Stripped to its fragile core, the track features intricate acoustic guitar, a lush string quartet, and ethereal choirs that culminate in a suspended moment of quiet emotion, evoking the hushed beauty of Bon Iver.
“Swan (Acoustic)” showcases Kwoon’s signature ability to blend ethereal soundscapes with emotive storytelling, offering listeners an intimate experience that contrasts with the band’s more expansive, cinematic rock arrangements. The track captures vulnerability, stillness, and reflection — a pause in the midst of life’s intensity.
Sandy Lavallart, who has gained global attention for his extraordinary solo performances in extreme and breathtaking locations — from the peak of Mont Blanc at 3,900 meters, to the haunted lighthouse of Tevennec, the middle of the ocean, and even active volcanoes — presents Odyssey, his personal musical travel diary. With these immersive explorations informing his artistry, Kwoon continues to push the boundaries of music and visual storytelling, captivating audiences worldwide.
