Description
RE-PRESS: CD ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 2017
Inspired by the likes of Slowdive and Ride, Chapterhouse were part of the short-lived Shoegazing scene of the early 90s, but unlike other acts who acquired a set of guitar pedals and headed off to the nearest recording studio, they mixed beats with their wall-of-sonic-guitar-fuzz to create records to stimulate both the mind and the feet!
Description
Chapterhouse was a British band that eventually became part of the burgeoning shoegaze scene along with bands such as Lush, Ride and Slowdive. Between 1987 and 1994 they only released two albums of which Whirlpool was their debut. Unlike their counterparts, Chapterhouse heavily employed structures borrowed from electronic music creating heavy, yet strangely uplifting grooves. The record spent three weeks in the UK Albums chart peaking at number #23 and includes the single "Pearl" featuring Rachel Goswell of Slowdive. Pitchfork in turn ranked the album at #17 on its list of the 50 best shoegaze albums of all time.
Whirlpool is available as a limited edition of 2000 individually numbered copies on white and black marbled vinyl, includes an insert and comes in a deluxe sleeve with linen laminate finish.
