Chevreuil

Chevreuil (in English: roe deer) was a math rock band from Nantes, formed in late 1998. They dissolved around 2006 after having released four LPs, among other things. Chevreuil consisted of Julien Fernandez on drums (he also played drums for another French

Tony Chauvin (who has a solo project by the name of Percevalmusic) on guitar and later also on analogue synthesizers. When performing, Tony Chauvin would hook up his instrument(s) to four amplifiers pointing in four directions, and the band would then play while surrounded by the audience on all sides. Their last two LPs (“Chateauvallon” and “(((Capoëira)))”) — as well as their “Science” EP — were produced by Steve Albini.

It would seem that Chevreuil had a lot in common with another band that has an entry here: Cheval de Frise. They both were French math rock outfits, both consisted of a guitar & drums duo, both were on the RuminanCe label, both formed and dissolved at around the same times, and both had band names starting with Chev! But if you were expecting music like that of Cheval de Frise, you would be barking up the wrong tree. Chevreuil play a groove-oriented style of math rock, with Tony Chauvin making use of a looper pedal to create layered grooves over Julien Fernandez’s drumming. Because of this orientation around grooves, and the instrumental nature of Chevreuil’s music, they have often been labeled as post-rock in addition to math rock. Their music is, however, punk music (particularly, math rock) at its core, and the focus of their compositions is on creating highly technical interlocking rhythms. Chevreuil make heavy use of both polymeter and polyrhythm, producing dizzying grooves that can often be difficult to even follow. “(((Capoëira)))” is perhaps the band’s magnum opus, so if you check anything out by this band, “(((Capoëira)))” is a good place to start.

The 2005 Sickroom Records reissue of “Chateauvallon” has an extra 57-second track at the beginning entitled “Multipliance”.
