This Never Ending Now

Acoustic reworkings of classic post-punk anthems. The Chameleons trade their signature wall-of-sound guitars for intimate, warm, and wistful wood-and-wire arrangements.

September 30, 2002 · Artful Records

A warm, wistful look back at loud youth through the quiet lens of acoustic instruments.

Moments Worth Listening For

The way the driving, frantic energy of Swamp Thing is replaced by a tense, circular acoustic groove that feels even more menacing in its quietness.

The breathtaking transition in Second Skin where the sprawling, epic arrangement is distilled down to bare, shimmering chords and an incredibly vulnerable vocal delivery.

The closing cover of Moonage Daydream where the band transforms David Bowie's glam-rock swagger into a dusty, campfire-lit singalong.
