French jazz-rock psychedelic band was founded in 2004 in Rennes, Bretagne. At the core of the group, there are three high school buddies, Youenn Migaud (guitar), Herve Launay (sax) and Antoine Tharreau (keyboards) who, after some years of diverse musical experiences, together or separately, decided to form L'OEIL DU SOURD (EYE OF THE DEAF). They were joined in 2007 by drummer Cedric Lucas shortly thereafter by Charlotte Merand (electric violin) and Mathilde Clavier (vocals and clarinet).
They mixed rock energy with jazz sax sound and structural freedom. If certain parts, often shorter, can claim more or less of jazz, the longest lead us in a mighty maze in which one loses some its bearings. The music includes saxophone, drums, keyboards, guitar, violin, clarinet and vocals and is a sound of prog rock jazz fusion of the 70's (without being that music in reality). This touch is brought by including all sounds of vintage keyboards. Classically trained Matilda Clavier distils a song lyric from the most original opera and vocal experiments. All this is caused by tremendous energy, a surprising strength of conviction that is contagious and contaminating (perhaps it is the origin of their name out) with an amazing mix sounds, and vintage and electronic. Perhaps we could situate this group unclassifiable - somewhere near Rock in Opposition, in a niche of progressive jazz and experimental avant-garde.
Some line up changes happened: near Migaud, Launay and Clavier from the early line up, there are two new members, Julia Robin (bass) and Tony Peoc'h (drums). Their first album ''Un?'' was released in 2009.
