Release Date 31/07/2026 Format 2LP Green/CD Label Computer Students Catalogue Number CS014-G/CS014-CD Chevreuil is a French rock duo made up of Julien F. and Tony C., formed in 1998 after the two met three years earlier at an Art School in Nantes. From the beginning, they approached the idea of a band as a performative art installation, a self-contained, sculptural device for sound, space, and motion, rather than a conventional rock ensemble. Julien and Tony, respectively, in their parlance, play “magnetic drums” and “magnetic guitar,” an analogy for their livewire, oneon-one chemistry, where the music seems to fall together by way of natural forces. Rejecting the addition of a bassist early on, Chevreuil built its music around reduction, repetition, and architecture. Tony’s guitar runs through four amplifiers arranged around Julien’s drum kit, creating a quadraphonic field thatsurrounds the players. Julien’s 1976 Ludwig kit, built the same year both musicians were born, is never amplified, allowing the group to perform anywhere so long as there’s a single outlet for the amplifiers.The result is both physical and spatial, a minimalist engine of rhythm and resonance that behaves as much like an installation as a band. Their sound construction operates like an assemblage of interlocking blocks of energy, each part locking precisely into the next.Between 1998 and 2006, Chevreuil released four albums, an EP, and several singles. After a 20-year hiatus, Chevreuil returns with the double album Stadium, recorded in France in January 2025 and slated for release on April 24, 2026. Stadium, Chevreuil’s most esoteric album to date, preserves the essential conditions of their earlier work while introducing new elements that expand the duo’s sonic vocabulary. Conceptually, the album draws on the music of the spheres, magnetism, radioactivity, barometric oscillations, astrometry and magic, using these ideas as lenses for exploring vibration and transformation.Chevreuil’s return with Stadium reasserts their place in their lineage: a duo grounded in art-school conceptualism, sonic architecture, and human connection, building an environment of sound that is at once precise, raw, and alive.
