about
Flëur was an ethereal/dream pop band from Odesa, Ukraine. They were active from 2000 to 2017. The band, originally from Odesa, Ukraine, was formed in February 2000 when Olga Pulatova/Pulatova/Ольга Пулатова (piano, vocal, lyrics) and Elena Voynarovskaya/Елена Войнаровская (guitar, vocal, lyrics) started to rehearse in a home studio. March 8, 2000 is considered to be the official birthday of the band when the third member, Yulia Zemlyanaya (flute), joined the band. As for the name, everyone interprets it differently. For some the word 'flёur' is a French translation for 'flower', for some it is Baudelaire's 'Flowers of Evil', others think of music. But actually the Russian word 'флёр' has a remarkable meaning - 'a veil'. Flёur's debut took place on March 17, 2000 with the 'Atmosphere' night programme in the Actors' Club in Odesa. Dmitry Vekov is the author of the programme, and now remains an active participant of the band. In May, 2000 Flёur was joined by Yekaterina Serbina (cello), in August, 2000 - Alexey Tkachevsky (percussion), in January, 2001 - Vitaly Didyk (double-bass), and in autumn of 2001 - Alexey Dovgalyov (keyboards, guitar). The current lineup also includes Vladislav Mitsovsky (percussion), Alexandra Didyk (cello), Anastasia Kuzmina (violin), Yekaterina Kotelnikova (keyboards) and Alla Luzhetskaya (flute). Many attempts to attribute Flёur to any specific genre, whether it be neoclassic, dream-pop, gothic or ethereal, ended with the band's own definition -
