The members of the group "Flëur" were the following: Olga Pulatova (piano, vocals, lyrics) and Elena Voinarovskaya (guitar, vocals, lyrics) began to rehearse in a home studio. March 8, 2000 is considered the official birthday of the group, when the third member, Julia Zemlyanaya (flute), joined the group.
As for the name, everyone interprets it differently. For some the word "flёur" is the French translation for "flower", for some it is Baudelaire's "Flowers of Evil". But in fact, the Russian word "fleur" has a wonderful meaning - "veil".
The debut of "Fleur" took place on March 17, 2000 with the night program "Atmosphere" in the Actors' Club in Odessa. Dmitry Vekov is the author of the program and now remains an active member of the group. In May 2000, Ekaterina Serbina (cello) joined her, in August 2000 - Aleksey Tkachevsky (percussion), in January 2001 - Vitaly Didyk (two bass), and in the fall of 2001 - Aleksey Dovgalev (keyboards, guitar). The current lineup also included Vladislav Mitskovsky (percussion), Alexandra Didyk (cello), Anastasia Kuzmina (violin), Ekaterina Kotelnikova (keyboards) and Alla Luzhetskaya (flute).
Many attempts to associate Flёur with any particular genre, be it neoclassicism, sleep-pop, gothic or 3D, have ended with the band's own definition of cardio. The French label Prikosnovenie points out the similarities between Fleur's music and artists such as Cocteau Twins and Bel Canto.
The musical group Flёur released seven official albums: "Touch" ("Soft touch"), "Magic" ("Magic"), "Shining" ("Shining"), "Everything is out of control" ("Everything is out of control" under control ", " Euphoria "(" Euphoria "), " A Thousand Bright Angels ", " Awakening "(" Awakening "), two unofficial -" Almost alive "(" Almost alive ") (recorded during the concert on June 17, 2000 in the Odessa Actors' Club) and Heart (Heart) (recorded on November 10, 2000 during a concert in the same hall), as well as the collection Fleurography in 2007.
