- Syd Matters est un groupe emmené par le musicien français Jonathan Morali. Il est le premier vainqueur du concours CQFD organisé par Les Inrockuptibles. En tant qu'admirateur des Pink Floyd, Jonathan Morali a choisi le nom de Syd Matters, mélange malicieux des noms des deux principaux musiciens du groupe britannique (Syd Barrett et Roger Waters). Son premier album, A Whisper and a Sigh, enregistré durant l'été 2002, sort en 2003 chez Third side records. Suite à sa signature avec le Label Third side records, il décide de trouver des musiciens pour l'épauler sur scène. Il sera accompagné sur scène par deux guitaristes/clavièristes dont Rémi Alexandre. Le groupe sera bientôt renforcé par Jean-Yves Lozac'h à la basse et Clement Carle à la batterie. A la fin de la tournée promotionnelle de "whisper and a Sigh",en septembre 2004, le multi-instrumentiste Olivier Marguerit rejoint le groupe. En Octobre 2004, le groupe enregistre "Someday We Will Forsee Obstacles", dont les backing tracks live seront enregistrées au studio GANG, et les overdubs dans le studio de Third Side Records. La réalisation de l'album sera confiée à Yan Arnaud. En avril 2005 sort leur album Someday We Will Foresee Obstacles chez Third side records/V2 music. Mélange de folk et de pop mélancolique, leur musique marie des mélodies lentes avec des instruments acoustiques sans toutefois renier des racines électroniques. En Novembre 2006, le groupe retourne en studio pour enregister Ghost Days. La réalisation de l'album est à nouveau confiée à Yan Arnaud et sera enregisté au studio La frette. Syd Matters a également signé la bande originale du long métrage de Nicolas Klotz La Question humaine (Quinzaine des réalisateurs, Cannes 2007) avec Mathieu Amalric et Michael Lonsdal. La bande originale sera éditée par third side records/Because music en septembre 2007, et sera nommée aux Victoires de la Musique 2008 dans la catégorie « Musique originale de cinéma de l’année ». Leur troisième album, intitulé Ghost Days, sortira le 14 janvier 2008. La Chanson "To All of you", tirée de l'album "Someday We Will Foresee Obstacles", a été entendue dans le 23e épisode ("The party Favor") de la 3ème saison de la série soap américaine Newport Beach¹
