Noodle

The Black Noodle Project is a French band that has actually been around for some time, releasing their demo in 2003. There used to be more members, or maybe they just sort of come and go as the winds of life steer them. I’m not sure. Right now, there are two members: Sébastien Bourdeix on guitars, keyboards, bass, and vocals; and Tommy Rizzitelli on drums. For this record, vocalist Sab Elvenia of the band The Fundamental Wisdom of Chaos guests on three tracks. I should say that, if you haven’t already, you should check out Sab’s band—they are quite unique.

Code 2.0 is the new album from French band The Black Noodle Project. The group combines finely crafted slow tempo post rock and progressive rock combined with hard rock riffs. The frequent hard rock riffing has little attraction.

French band The Black Noodle Project started out as the solo project of Jeremie Grima back in 2001. The first album was released in 2004, and since then the solo project has developed into a proper band while half a dozen or so albums have seen the light of day. The Black Noodle Project explores the ebb and flow dynamics of post rock fairly thoroughly on their 2013 album "Ghosts & Memories". Mainly without turning to post rock as a stylistic expression as such, although they do utilize some textured instrument layers on occasion. Atmospheric laden and fairly often dark toned progressive rock that ebbs and flows between delicate, frail landscapes and majestic, grandiose arrangements is the end result, and one that also sports a solid nod to progressive rock giants Pink Floyd at the end…

The Black Noodle Project is the name of a present French Progressive rock band, located in the Paris suburbs. Deeply influenced by the works of Pink Floyd, the music of the first album "And Life Goes On…" (2004) appears to be both atmospheric and dynamic, reminding a seducing modern form of Progressive rock. Filled with piano notes and luminous guitar flights, the melodies are to be sipped with obvious pleasure. After the critical acclaim received by "And Life Goes On…", the second album "Play Again" (2006) goes one step beyond. Both more original and personal, this masterpiece is full of intense atmospheres and surprising melodies. The Floydian influences are still present, but more discrete, through a sense of slowness, a sort of "quiet despair" and melancholy…

"Divided We Fall" is the sixth album of the post-progressive french band The Black Noodle Project. This record is a powerful trip into a divided mind, a storm of melancholic melodies and raging riffs, an aerial journey where beauty collides with deep emotions.
