In their widely anticipated third album Victoria, BCs Chet give rise to a sound that is as fleeting in its own time as it is staggeringly archaic, invoking the passion of a sweaty Sam Cooke performance and the grace of an Edith Piaf crescendo.
Bio / Background
There's a certain rare chemistry that occurs when gorgeous, sweeping pop melodies are passed through 15 feet of plate reverb before being committed to hundreds of yards of analog tape; the promise of a polished outcome is forfeited for something more genuine. It was a process so common place 50 years ago that it was less a gamble than an endeavour in the sweaty performance & hopeful calculation of the outcome.
Equally, it is a process in which Victoria BC's Chet thrive.
In Fight Against Darkness, love and melancholy are portrayed in beautiful relation, as though they were
never far from one another. It is very much the same beauty as being unwillingly torn apart only to be placed together again in perfect form, richer & stronger for the experience, as disarming as it is dismantling. Pieces such as "Don't Let Your Cruel Heart Count Me In" demonstrate Chet's signature melancholic craft in its most brilliant capacity to date with it's unhurried pace, deliberate as any loving moment.
↓ more ↓Equally, unprecedented upbeat selections such as "By Night, Into Paradise" & "Dollarton Harbour" brilliantly articulate their knack for Motown-esque jubilee, having been recorded as a collective live performance with friends They Shoot Horses, Don't They? on horns.
By virtue of deeply invested, grandiose live performances and their remarkable recordings, Chet
continue to map the landscape of soul music's forefront & endeavour in refining pop music into the
purest, most potent of forms. With the monumental album now realized and ready for its March 21st
release, Fight Against Darkness comfortably places Chet at the thresh of genius as their accomplished
internship ends and they accept their lot among Canada's most original and compelling groups.
