CHEMISTRY LANE

WE ARE ALL IN THE GUTTER, BUT SOME OF US ARE LOOKING AT THE STARS - Oscar Wilde
Chemistry Lane formed in 2005 with the intention of injecting the ethereal and surreal back into a decidedly earthbound music scene. All the members are Chester based musicians and formed the band with two passionately held beliefs, firstly, a love of leftfield experimental pop such as ‘Television’, ‘New Order’, ‘Spiritualized’ and ‘Lambchop’ and secondly a disdain for Blair sponsored Britpop and anthems without a cause.
Such a multi-coloured palette of influences and ambitions were never going to result in a monochrome style and describing the sound of Chemistry Lane has proved tough for audiences and band members alike. The Cocteau Twins gone surfing? Sigur Ros partying with the Roses? Well, a normal day in the studio sees Tom and Sam’s guitars glide over Dan’s melodic groove and Sean’s snidey rhythms while Simon comes across all heartbroken songbird. This is music for stargazers
