Celebrated British post-punk legends Chameleons (formerly The Chameleons), following a triumphant 2024, have announced their new album, Arctic Moon, scheduled for release on 12 September via Metropolis Records.

"Our new album is finally finished and being prepared for release", beams vocalist and bassist Vox (aka Mark Burgess). "There is an obvious maturity to the songwriting on this record, while anyone familiar with our past work will hear that this is a positive step forward."

With new music from Arctic Moon to be rolled out in the coming weeks, Vox and the band are excited for this next chapter in the band's story. "Everyone involved brought their 'A' game to this project, and personally I can't wait for people to hear it", he says. "I'm sure we can generate a lot of momentum that will propel us forward and galvanise the band for the next album we make."

Also, Chameleons will tour quite a lot this year - find the dates HERE.

"We're really pleased with how the album has turned out and really looking forward to the challenge of performing songs from it live when we begin the Arctic Moon tour", continues Vox. "For the first time, we've been able to use real orchestral strings on a couple of songs, which were arranged and performed by Pete Whitfield at Real Strings in Manchester. They have been given a truly epic quality, but we have every confidence our keyboard player Danny (Ashberry) will utilise all his skill to help bring this to the stage!"

Chameleons are renowned for their transformative catalogue and intense, emotionally charged live performances, creating a legacy that extends far beyond their four studio albums. With Arctic Moon, the band has propelled forward musically while retaining the essence that made them iconic. "While we are proud of the band's legacy, we really wanted to forge something fresh while retaining that profound and imaginative quality we are known for", Vox reflects. "We think that we have managed to do that and deliver a very strong record." Link
