The Black Noodle Project was rooted in 2001 and started as a one man project with Jérémie Grima as the brainchild. He was born in the suburb of Paris and was to record personal musical wishes totally disconnected from a band inspiration. After a few months of searches some tracks came out. In the middle of 2002, The Black Noodle Project started to become a genuine band. Jérémie created songs and songs until proposing a demonstration full of 11 tracks. Against all odds, some labels ovated the album "Dark Smiles". It finally landed on the desk of a French label Musea Records which propose to manage the distribution on the French market in 2003. Recording a new album became the very first motivation for Jérémie. With the help of Bertrand Pinsac and Laura Sénéchal, Jérémie decided to create a label based on partnership relations called B-Smile Records. Under this name, albums were produced in an independent way and The Black Noodle Project was its first signature. And then the second album "And Life Goes On." was launched in 2005. During the recording Jérémie asked friends as musicians to give their experience and lead the album to perfection. Thus, Arnaud Rousset drummer for the band Brainstore, Antony Létevé, bass guitar for the band Spectrum of Oblivion. and Matthieu Jaubert on keyboards joined Jérémie lead guitar and vocals. "And Life Goes On." was recorded at the Art Evolution studios in Vanves during the hottest nights of the last summer. Five shorts and intense weeks but with a great satisfaction : the birth of the first album also managed by the "all mighty" Elad Berliner, sound manager. For personal reasons, Arnaud left the band but was immediately replaced by Franck Girault. And then, The Black Noodle Project decided to welcome a second guitarplayer named Sébastien Bourdeix. In 2006 The Black Noodle Project released thier third effort entitled Play Again, it's also distributed by French progrock label Musea.
- The music on the third album sounds like a pleasant blend of 70-73 Pink Floyd, some Porcupine Tree and the melancholic progressive pop from bands like Eighties The Cure and Radiohead and even Coldplay. The emphasis is on atmospheres and emotion,it often sounds very compelling with wonderful work on the violin in some tracks along soaring organ and sensitive electric guitar.
