The new single from Broken Chanter (aka David MacGregor) - You’ve Got To Stop Worrying All The Time heralds incendiary third LP Chorus Of Doubt, out 5th April 2024 on Chemikal Underground.
Agitated, taut, post-punk verses recalling the likes of Gang of Four, Erase Errata and Wire, give way to lush pop choral assurances that lift the song somewhere else entirely. Charlotte Printer's bass is in turns chunky and elastic and is melded symbiotically with Martin Johnston's powerhouse drumming and the abrasive insistent guitars of Bartholomew Owl and MacGregor himself.
A fitting introduction to the most immediate Broken Chanter record to date, You’ve Got To Stop Worrying All The Time tackles the pervading anxiety the individual can feel in a modern world of mirrors: if we’re continually navel gazing, saturated by constantly refreshing stimuli and surrendering to distorted self-images created by big tech algorithms - what’s being done by Power, just out of view
