	Cheval de frise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cheval de frise at the Confederate defenses at the Siege of Petersburg
		The cheval de frise (plural: chevaux de frise) was a Mediaeval defensive obstacle consisting of a portable frame (sometimes just a simple log) covered with many long iron or wooden spikes or even actual spears.
		A variation of the chevaux de frise are Czech hedgehog anti-tank obstacles, typically composed of three rails, crossed in such a way that they form a six-spiked figure, possibly sealed in concrete or partly buried in sand or earth (very much like a metal abatis).

	mundane sounds: Cheval de Frise "self titled"
		Cheval de Frise is an instrumental duo from France that, on the surface, bears a couple of similarities to Hella.
		The guys in Cheval de Frise live up to theirs (which, although it means “Frisian horse” in French, is used in English to describe any spiky obstacle) by turning each of its songs into discursive journeys that aren’t always easy to listen to.
		Overall, both Cheval de Frise albums are proof that subtlety doesn’t have to be anathema to math-rockers.

		Puis vient la complexité de leurs compositions, comme une illustration de leurs diverses influences, véritable mise à nu de leur propre intériorité, de la multiplicité du moi, de ses mille éclats différents, de ses aspirations contraires or néanmoins cohérentes.
		Dans une approche partitive de l’univers de Cheval de Frise, j’ai retenu trois détails, où j’ai privilégié la batterie au détriment de la guitare, cette dernière pouvant également être sanctionnée d’une étude microscopique, tant au niveau du jeu que de son amplification, de ses choix de mise en son...
		Or l’apprentissage empirique de la musique des deux membres de Cheval de Frise, contrebalance, pour ainsi dire, contredit de manière heureuse, cette approche idéative de la composition : Vincent n’exécute pas et écrit ensuite, à l’inverse...

		Cheval de Frise’s instrumental, acoustic jazz-rock powerfully engrosses and engages and engorges the listener.
		Primarily the sound of skittish, jittery acoustic guitar meshed with insistently glistening drums, Cheval de Frise’s music (and art - for it is art, audible art) stands close to the works of Gastr Del Sol.
		This is a brief record, and their terseness serves Cheval de Frise well.

	Bagatellen: Cheval de Frise — Fresques sur les parois secrètes du crâne
		Cheval de Frise's compositions stand alongside The Stick Men, Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band, Hella, Rich Woodson's Ellipsis, Yowie, and Fred Frith's Massacre (Killing Time) as a pinnacle of a musical phenomenon I like to call herky-jerkiness, a barrage of contrary motions and metrical implosions that play like a soundtrack for an epileptic seizure.
		I think Cheval never played with more than one amp on their setup, and that's exactly the thing with Chevreuil: one guitar running through several amplifiers for maximized impact.
		Appears that Cheval guitarist Thomas Bonvalet has a new solo project called L'ocelle Mare and he's touring the US in late January as an opening act for popular avant-rock group Deerhoof (whose records are excellent on the whole).

		Chez Cheval de Frise, les compositions révèlent un sens de l’urgence contenue quasi baroque, encadrées d’une rigueur rythmique imparable.
		Leur dossier de presse n’est guère bavard : c’est qu’ils disent tout dans leur musique et dans leur discographie où figure leur nouvel opus mystérieusement intitulé “Fresques sur les parois secrètes du crâne”.
		Thomas BONVALET, guitar, and Vincent BEYSSELANCE (drums) are the two members of "Cheval de Frise", a duo from Bordeaux, France.

		La musique de Cheval de Frise au grand galop, de folles embardées vers l’avant avec cette je-ne-sais-quoi touche de classicisme, à l’image de leur pochette rétro et ces noms de morceaux fin de siècle (‘’Langue hasté’’, Incliné et chenu’’, ‘’Un pont et des eaux noires limoneuses’’).
		Un mariage de feu entre les gammes acoustiques de hautes volées d’une guitare branchée sur le courant alternatif, entre les compliqués Gastr Del Sol et les sautes d’humeurs d’un Don Caballero.
		Des pointes de mélodies qui jaillissent, du rythme, c’est enlevé et concis.

	Cheval De Frise Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Cheval de Frise is a French duo that, through the Bordeaux rock scene, has founded this interesting unit.
		All kidding aside, there's a barrage of baroque style flowing through the fingers of the guitarist on this 10-track experimental delight, while the drums construct an avant garde atmosphere, like the one you may find in the way out world of free form jazz.
		Cheval de Frise isn't easy at all; on the ears or on the musicians, yet its artistic merit lies in the instability of the eclectic musical mix.

		Yes, Cheval de Frise are in fact an instrumental duo from Bordeaux, France consisting of Vincent Beysselance and Thomas Bonvalet on drums and nylon-string acoustic guitar respectively.
		Though forgoing a bassist in favor of a streamlined guitar and drums lineup seems to be the de rigeur move for any self-respecting indie rock band these days, don’t expect warmed over garage rock from these guys.
		Maybe finding yourself in tune with Cheval de Frise’s particular form of madness is simply a case of spending enough time with the patients that their demented theories start to sound plausible but whatever the reason

		Here's Cheval de Frise, looking to all the world like one prime god-damned stinker, dropping magic sticks once again into the heady brew of a unique jazzy, math-rock shitpit.
		The French are good at looking down upon things, and Cheval de Frise has a lot to look down upon from these two men's impregnable mountain fortress of highly choreographed (and oh so vitalistic) noise emissions.
		If you scream really loud in space, your head might explode, but if you scream "Cheval de Frise!" really loud in space, your head will be comforted by the downy soft alien pillows of the miscellaneous extraterrestrial space creatures that will come to protect you and proffer up safe intergalactic harbor.

		French imports Cheval De Frise like their rhythms.
		Though Cheval De Frise lack the volume and fevered sweat of Don Caballero's drums, their attention to melody and composition generates a thoughtfully striking listen.
		Despite a few shortcomings, Cheval De Frise is an impressive debut that lingers in between pleasantry and pandemonium, offering forty minutes of odd, deserving attraction.

		Besides the splendid pictures on its sleeve, old shots of "Les Champs de Bataille de la Marnes," Cheval de Frise's first album is a pleasant object for the trip it will take you on.
		Guitarist Thomas Bonvalet constructs melodies of a peculiar kind that are somehow reminiscent of Gastr del Sol's, except that Cheval de Frise is making loud, noisy breaks instead of atmospherics.
		Always on the verge between experimental rock and pure noise (the band has often been compared to Don Caballero), their instrumental tunes are constantly battling between drums and guitar.

	Emotional Breakdown - Recensione / Cheval De Frise - La Lame Du Mat
		Le immediate reazioni all’ascolto di un gruppo come i Cheval De Frise possono essere molteplici, opposte e spesso incoerenti.
		La realtà è che i Cheval De Frise oltre a proporre qualcosa di assolutamente fuori dagli schemi, insolito, folle e forse geniale sono anche dannatamente bravi a farlo.
		E se nello scoprire che i francesi sono un duo batteria e chitarra e suonano una strana mistura strumentale di tempi jazzati, inflessioni folk, dilatazioni post rock, ritmiche che più math di così si muore, è probabile che più di qualcuno senta nell’aria l’odore dell’ennesimo tentativo pretenzioso e inconcludente di sperimentazione sonora si sbaglia.

		Les soubresauts du premier, immuables, nous apprennent ici qu’il arrivait à Cheval de frise de suivre des schémas pré décidés (I).
		De mouvements las en ruptures sèches, la batterie entame un swing décadent (III), opte pour des chavirements ingénieux et illuminés (IV), et accueille chaleureusement le soutien expressif d’une guitare assez maîtrisée pour qu’on n’en oublie pas le potentiel rythmique de ses trois cordes graves.
		Fait d’ingrédients uniques, oscillant au gré des courants porteurs que sont la fougue et l’improvisation, il aura bel et bien été défendu ; assez longtemps, en tout cas, pour qu'on l'entende et le reconnaisse.

		The line I get pitched is that Cheval de Frise are the acoustic Hella, or the French Hella, or the French, acoustic Hella.
		The next segment of the song is quieter, a suspenseful buildup to nothing in particular, and if you're through this, you're on track to make it through the whole album.
		"Phosphorescence de l'Arbre Mort" (to wit, The Phosphorescence of the Dead Tree) is the most dissonant thing on the album, but is mind-bogglingly beautiful nevertheless, and also incorporates what may be frantic, staticky vocals, or possibly some kind of synthesizer mirage.
