The Chameleons formed just outside Manchester in 1981, and they released three albums of rich and gauzy post-punk before breaking up after the sudden death of their manager in 1987. The Chameleons never saw a lot of commercial success in their time, but those three albums influenced tons of other acts. The Chameleons got back together in 2000 and released the 2001 reunion LP Why Call It Anything?, and then they once again went inactive for a while. Last year, they released an EP called Where Are You?, and now they’re ready to announce their first new album in nearly a quarter century.
