Knox Chandler releases debut solo album ‘The Sound’ via Blue Elastic – Out now
Knox Chandler
Knox Chandler, known for his work with The Psychedelic Furs, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and Cyndi Lauper, has released his debut solo album, “The Sound”, today via his own label, Blue Elastic.
Available digitally and via streaming platforms, “The Sound” is also paired with an accompanying visual art book. The album showcases Chandler’s distinctive “Soundribbon” technique — a meditative, cinematic style of instrumental guitar work — supported by upright bass and percussion.
The accompanying book includes paintings, sketches, photographs, and written reflections. Together, the audio and visual elements are designed as a “musical/visual memoir” reflecting what Chandler describes as “interpreting nature through technology.”
