Biography
Le Corbeau was started in 2006 in Oslo as a solo project of Øystein Sandsdalen, then one of the guitarists of Norwegian noise stars Serena-Maneesh. Eventually however, the project grew to a height of its own.
After a self-titled debut in 2008 and the album "Evening Chill/Montreal of the Mind" in 2009, Le Corbeau reached their apex with 2011s "Moth on the Headlight", released on renowned underground label Fysisk Format.
The idea was to create something like an impressionist, Lee Ranaldo-esque pop record at first. Hearing Skywave and A place to bury strangers' simple repetetive songs were influences on the band's sound. Other heavy inspirations were film noir soundtracks, 50's jazz, my bloody valentine, link wray, the velvet underground, sonic youth and john fahey.
