• EXTENSIVE BOX SET EXPLORING ONE OF THE UK’S BEST LOVED BANDS OF THE EARLY 1990s AND FIGUREHEADS OF THE ‘SHOEGAZE’ SCENE AND BEYOND. • CURATED AND COMPILED BY CHAPTERHOUSE THEMSELVES. • FEATURING 20 PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED RECORDINGS! • INCLUDES SLEEVENOTES FROM SONIC CATHEDRAL’S NATHANIEL CRAMP, FEATURING NEW INTERVIEWS WITH THE BAND. • ALSO INCLUDES MEMORABILIA AND IMAGERY FROM CHAPTERHOUSE’S OWN ARCHIVE. Emerging from Reading in the late 1980s, Chapterhouse burst onto the British music scene with 1990’s ‘Freefall’ EP and the critically acclaimed album ‘Whirlpool’. Impossible to categorise, the band were quickly embraced by both the music press and a global audience, and soon found themselves part of the emergent shoegaze scene alongside contemporaries such as Slowdive and Ride. Curated by the band and overflowing with previously unheard material, ‘Chronology’ charts Chapterhouse’s progress through two brilliant albums, a number of classic singles and EPs, remixes by contemporaries such as Global Communication, Drum Club and Spooky, and their attempt to write and record an ultimately unrealised third album. Told through new interview material, previously unseen imagery and design overseen by the band themselves, this is the story of one of the most individual and enigmatic bands of their era, and one who continue to be cherished by both their original fanbase and a generation of new fans drawn to the shoegaze scene’s revival over the past decade. Packaged in a hard slipcase box, complete with mini LP replica wallets and a 64 page booklet, and five years in the making, ‘Chronology’ is a definitive, in-depth set which will inspire nostalgia among fans of a certain age and creativity among those currently exploring similar sonic territory.
