Chevreuil Share New Single “Plexus”

Chevreuil is the French rock duo of Julien F. and Tony C., formed in 1998 after the two met three years earlier at an art school. 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, one-on-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 that surrounds 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.

Following a two-decade break, Chevreuil made their comeback on February 18, 2026, with “Tartarus,” the lead single from Stadium, their forthcoming double album set for release on April 24, 2026 via Computer Students™.

Today, the duo unveil “Plexus,” a single that adopts a heavier, minimalistic rock architecture that expands upon the innovations introduced in the previous track. The guitar — reconfigured and operating as a hybrid electro-acoustic engine capable of electronic timbres — underscores Chevreuil’s metamorphosis into a new kind of sonic organism. Guided by precise, minimalist drumming, the direct and powerful track highlights the rock-driven side of an album that is otherwise remarkably diverse.

Stadium, their most esoteric album to date, preserves the essential conditions of Chevreuil’s earlier work — live recording, four-amp immersion, while adding new components. 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.

Each side of the double LP contains four pieces, forming parallel sequences that can be heard as two separate albums or a single continuum. The recording process remained constant — identical settings from tracking through mastering — so every variation arises solely from the nuance of performance.
