Les Discrets is a French post-rock project created and led by Fursy Teyssier as a "platform gathering music and art."[1] Teyssier was the sole member of the band until 2009, when he was joined by Audrey Hadorn and Winterhalter. Les Discrets released Septembre et Ses Dernières Pensées in March 2010, Ariettes oubliées... in February 2012. Winterhalter left the band in 2013 to focus on his duties for Alcest. The band's third album Prédateurs, was released in April 2017, which saw a transition towards an indie rock and trip hop-oriented sound.[2]

The band considers its name to mean "Those who keep silent", although "The Discreet Ones" would be more an accurate translation.[3]
