This week we’re talking about England’s The Chameleons. These guys are often associated with fellow post-punk/goth acts like Joy Division and The Cure, but were entirely distinct in style, in addition to being fantastic songwriters. Alex and Mike both went into this band blind but came out delighted by the accessibility and inventiveness of this group. Dig it.

Closing track: “Tears” from Strange Times (1986)
