Chapterhouse - Whirlpool

RE-PRESS: CD ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 2017

• Expanded re-issue of Chapterhouse’s classic debut ‘Whirpool’.

• Inlcuding all the B-sides from the singles 'Pearl', 'Falling Down' and the 'Sunburst EP', along with 'Die Die Die' which was originally only available on a free record that came with the vinyl version of the album.

• Produced by the band alongside Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins), John Fryer (This Mortal Coil), Stephen Hague (New Order) and Ralph Jezzard, and featuring guest vocals from Rachel Goswell (Slowdive).

• With liner notes from music journalist and long-time associate Andrew Perry, along with the lyrics in full (documented here for the first time), plus many photos, memorabilia and other clippings from the bands personal archive, and images of all of the releases featured on the album.

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!
