Fievel Is Glauque is a musical jazz-pop duo formed in 2018, composed of multi-instrumentalist Zach Phillips and singer Ma Clément, based in New York City and Brussels respectively.
[1][5][6] The name originates with the band's first saxophonist, Eléonore Kenis, after Fievel Mouskewitz (the protagonist of An American Tail) and the French word glauque, meaning blue-green (as in "glaucous"); or, metaphorically, run-down, sordid, or sleazy.
[11][12] They released the single "I'm Scanning Things I Can't See"/"Dark Dancing" in August 2023, accompanied by a short film directed by Joey Agresta.
[19] In an interview regarding future plans for the band, Phillips stated he was hoping to someday collaborate with artists in Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina and Japan.
"[11] Their second album, Flaming Swords, represented an evolution in the lo-fi sound of God's Trashmen, with more complex and rich arrangements as well as skits extracted from movies in the style of the Wu-Tang Clan.
Zach Phillips cited Maher Shalal Hash Baz, Royal Trux, Annette Peacock, MF Doom, and Daniel Johnston as inspirations through both their music and ethoses.
