The Chameleons detail first album in 24 years, ‘Arctic Moon,’ add West Coast dates to tour
‘Arctic Moon’ will be out September 12. The Chameleons are on tour this summer and fall, including dates with Psychedelic Furs.
Post-punk greats The Chameleons have announced details of Arctic Moon, their first album since 2001, which will be out September 12 via Metropolis Records. It was made by the current lineup of Chameleons — founding members Mark Burgess and Reg Smithies, plus newer members Stephen Rice (guitar), Danny Ashberry (keyboards), and Todd Demma (drums) — and the cover artwork, like all their albums, is by Reg. You can check out the cover art below.
The band say: “Arctic Moon signals a departure from the sound of earlier Chameleons albums, while remaining rooted in the same emotional depth, spirit, and intensity that has always defined their work. It represents a new chapter, and the band hopes it will resonate with long-time fans while also opening the door to a new generation of listeners.”
The Chameleons will be on tour in North America starting this summer, including dates with Psychedelic Furs. They’ve also just announced West Coast dates for the fall, and all are listed below.
