UK Post-Punk band Chameleons have released their first full-length album in 24 years, Arctic Moon, via Metropolis Records. It contains the recent single, “Saviours Are A Dangerous Thing”, a re-recorded version of the 2024 single “Where Are You?“, and more.
Although signaling something of a departure from the sound of their earlier albums, Arctic Moon nevertheless “remains rooted in the same emotional depth, spirit and intensity that has always defined their output.”
Bassist and singer Vox (Mark Burgess) says:
There is an obvious maturity to the songwriting on this record, and anyone familiar with our past work will hear that this is a positive step forward. While we’re proud of the band’s legacy, we really wanted to forge something fresh while retaining that profound and imaginative quality we’re known for. We think that we have managed to do that and deliver a very strong record!
Chameleons have spent the summer touring on both sides of the Atlantic, with their latest headlining US trek also incorporating a dozen dates with The Psychedelic Furs. Their Fall North American tour kicks off September 26th in Seattle and follows the West Coast with dates in Vancouver, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and more cities before wrapping up in Denver on October 9th.
Last year saw the band releasing two EPs, Where Are You? which was comprised of three new songs, and Tomorrow Remember Yesterday which contained five songs from the vault that were re-recorded, and kicked off a new chapter for Chameleons.
