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.”

Over the years, he recorded and toured with a range of artists, including Depeche Mode, Dave Gahan, Natalie Merchant, Grace Jones, and Marianne Faithfull.

“The Sound” marks his first solo release under his new imprint, Blue Elastic.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
