ChameleonsVox, the latest incarnation of Mark Burgess post-punk band previously known as The Chameleons, will return with a brand new four-track EP titled 'M + D = 1(8)', in November through Blue Apple Music.
The limited edition EP features three new songs, "Heaven", "Sycophants" and "Feel The Need," plus a cover of the Beatles' "Across the Universe." According to the official
ChameleonsVox website, the EP will be available to pre-order once the official release date has been confirmed.
The release will be a numbered, limited-edition release, the band notes, "so when they're gone, they're gone."
In Mark's own words: "The Ep constitutes my first release of fresh material in almost TEN YEARS. I nearly dropped cork leg when that was pointed out to me, because trust me it doesn't feel that long to me, but then it never does, does it?
The four tracks are 'Sycophants' (in the pants) - co-written with my regular guitarist Chris Oliver, 'Heaven' and 'Feel The Need', engineered and co-produced with a long time collaborator Yves Altana who some may remember from past projects 'Invincible' and 'Paradyning'. I'm also collaborating with Yves, along with one or two others, writing and recording a brand new album 'Eden And The End Of The World', which we hope to have completed to coincide with the next manned mission to Mars, or early 2014, whichever comes first. Oh by the way, the title is a coded message to someone but in no way should it be considered as a threat to International security or world peace."
The band have also announced they will embarks on a European tour next month, opening a run of 13 dates on Nov. 8 in Paris, and performing in Germany, Ireland and the U.K., before wrapping up Dec. 8 in London.
