The Chameleons released an EP, Where Are You?, last Friday, 24 May, which contains the first brand new music by the Manchester-formed post-punk legends for 23 years. Today, the band issued a video for its hard-charging title track, directed by Martin Swinney at Periscope.
Vocalist/bassist and band co-founder Mark Burgess states. "The band was scattered to the four winds at the time, so a more traditional form of video was out of the question given the time frame. We therefore went with a more abstract collage and tried to convey the compulsion many of us have to search through life for the things that we feel define us, in this case true love, or moments of connection to each other, or elements that hint at a deeper reality. 'Where Are You?' is the 'you' that punctuates meaning in my life".
Also, The Chameleons begins a North American tour tonight (30 May), celebrating its 1986 album Strange Times.
