Ex-Chapman Family frontman Kingsley returns with new band and new track "Poison Tongues"
There’s still traces of his old band in Kingsley Chapman’s new project but it’s very different sound that the Teesside-based singer and songwriter creates on “Poison Tongues”.
The Chapman Family channeled goth through the post-punk revival but Kingsley Chapman and The Murder finds a lusher, more expansive noise space to play in - one that has some of the same touchpoints as before in the sonics of Bowie, Nick Cave and even Morrissey’s Vauxhall and I.
There’s still urgency and a nervousness but a playful maturing in melody and lyric means there’s arguably greater depth as well as an intimacy that makes the violence of the song terrifyingly palatable. It’s thrown together in an entirely new way, with an impressive binding brass arrangement.
