Release of Camembert’s 2nd album “Orteil Negatif”
WHO IS CAMEMBERT ?
CAMEMBERT are 8 musicians addicted to all forms of progressive rock united in a project dedicated to musical storytelling of incredible stories. Its an unusual band with harp, vibraphone, xylophone, a horn section and a singer in addition to the bass/guitar/drum power trio.
It’s crowded in there !
Listen to our tracks from our first album juste over there :
CAMEMBERT’s core is made of a jazz rock/progressive then, and melts in the ears of the listener, drawing epic/symphonic landscapes extending from afro-carribean beats to intergalacticfunk.
THE CAMEMBERT UNIVERSE :
Earth is under the threat of an alien invasion scafolded by the Schnörgls, evil stupid nasty electrical gelatine beings, which are xenomorph and can replicate objects and beings. Earth calls for help the CHEESE (Camembert Headquarters of the Electro-Ecstatic Space Elite) which are specialist in Schnörgl hunting. During their live shows, Camembert plays stories of epic fights against the Schnörgls and reminds legends of the Schnörgl universe. In France and abroad, each time the band is rewarded for its communicative energy and its uniqueness.
SOME INFLUENCES :
Frank Zappa, Gong, Magma, King Crimson, Jaga Jazzist, Snarky Puppy
MORE INFORMATIONS :
After a first EP named “Clacosmique“, followed by the release of a first album, the critically acclaimed “Schnörgl Attahk“, in September 2011, a bunch of fresh cheeseheads newcomers joined the band and new directions are now explored. We aim to play live as much as possible and three different album are actually in construction : a musical adaptation of Arthur Koestler’s Spanish Testament, a jazz rock symphony based on an old track of our first EP named Bernard L’hermite, and a surprise concept album compiling unrealeased tracks named “Untold tales of the Schnöglniverse“.
After 10 years of existance, we are as enthusiastic as the first day we played together. If you believe in Camembert and in our present and upcoming projects, support us!

“[…] as soon as the first bars of their music set that will astound more than one music-lover. Sound, beautiful sound, the six musicians have known how to make their instruments talk in a notes overflow, flirting sometimes with the free jazz whithout never going there.” Traduction from Les DNA, french newspaper published the 29/07/2015.
