Broken Chanter
Broken Chanter is the stage name of Glaswegian songwriter David MacGregor, and the moniker covers him on his own, or with an array of extremely talented musicians. He’s released three critically-acclaimed LPs as BC, the latter two even troubling The Charts, the most recent of which appeared on the legendary Chemikal Underground label. He spent 2007-2017 as the principal songwriter of Scottish Alt-Pop darlings Kid Canaveral - a band that could get you to dance, laugh, and weep all in the space of the same set and who performed their three albums across a large chunk of the northern hemisphere.
Chorus Of Doubt
"From the propulsive immediacy of the bass and drums’ taut groove, it’s clear something’s changed in Broken Chanter's world. Powerful odes to the strength of collective action, David MacGregor’s Broken Chanter bristle with energy and empathy on their incendiary third album.
Recorded over 2023’s spring and summer months at label’s Chemikal Underground’s in-house studio, Chorus Of Doubt is fuelled by a burning desire to resist an encroaching, global tide of misery, informed by a wide-eyed sense of solidarity and the searing truth that a universal humanity is the only path out of darkness."
