The first Single from the upcoming Digital Technology Project.
In the near future, when algorithms have feelings, they will write all our music. When they try to write pop music that sounds like it was made by talented Europeans in 2018, it might sound something like Digital Technology, the seventh full-length album by The Chap, recorded and produced by the band in London and Berlin over the past three years.
Following 2015’s The Show Must Go - The Chap’s foray into the world of the political rock song – Digital Technology is arguably the band’s most beautiful album to date, exploring abysses both personal and de-personalised, looking inward or into vast open space rather than onto a concrete political arena.
The first single Pea Shore is a gentle introduction to the album of dystopian delights, The video by multi talented artist Jennifer Walshe masquerading as a light evening in the park contains an extended love poem to Marky Smith and the wonders of modern cosmetics.
As ever with The Chap the question arises of who’s grooming who??
