Chancellorpink: Buy Albums

March 22, 2009 - With Chancellorpink's 2009 release, Life Like Sad Music, a terrific songwriter with sonic imagination once again puts his deep, yearning croon and poignant lyrics to musical elements of underground pop, new romantic and melodramatic popular song. Anthemic blasts like "Bleed the Enemy", "Third Time, No Charm" and "Tears at the Cemetery" share the disc with more organic and acoustic reflections of strength in isolation like "In Self Defense", "You Are Everyone" and the Lennon-esque "There Was Reality". Top to bottom, Life Like Sad Music is an underground pop gem from one of today's best songwriters who continues his underdog emergence on the indie rock scene.

Chancellorpink's most successful album Valentine Parade, released on Valentine's Day 2008, is perfectly designed to keep cool single people company. This record's been called a "post-retro, Euro-80's pop masterpiece" loaded with smart, modern day lyrics and rich vocal harmonies.  Radio loves the whole thing, and especially the poppy croon of "Unfinished Valentine", the smoothly-electro "Baby's Gone to Bible" and the brooding throb of "Red Wedding Dress".

Chancellorpink's second album Darkrazor (released April 24, 2007) is a 19-track tour-de-force which The Chancellor, himself, describes as "a haunted house with 19 rooms; my Beatles' white album only it's black." Songs "Lock Me Up", "Paul's Song", "Everybody Needs A Family" and "A Case Of Noir" piled up spins on international and local college and public radio airwaves. And more people began catching on to Chancellorpink's unique blend of poetry, pop and pathos.

Self-titled debut album Chancellorpink (released May 29, 2006), contains 12 literate, indie pop/rock songs, drawing comparisons to old Bowie, a funky Elvis Costello or Crowded House on a vodka bender, with Chancellorpink's rich and often plaintive vocals leading the way to favorable reviews and Internet radio airplay for songs "With You in the End", "AnnaJo" and "Chancellor Pink".  Chancellorpink also picked up a small cultish, underground following for its deceptively-titled, acoustic love ballad "Cunt".
