Chicane releases fifth artist album: ‘Thousand Mile Stare’

Chicane releases fifth artist album: ‘Thousand Mile Stare’. The 5th full-length studio album from Chicane (producer/songwriter Nick Bracegirdle) sees one of the 21st century’s most imaginative sound designers deliver his new, 12-strong track collection. Stylistically the music on ‘Thousand Mile Stare’ ranges canyon deep and valley wide, incorporating themes from a wide scope of dance music. The man who brought you the chilled quintessence of ‘Offshore, the cultivated trance of ‘Saltwater’, the chart conquering ‘Don’t Give Up’ and the super-infectious ‘Poppiholla’ is about to deliver again.

“This is music I made whilst consciously trying to disengage from electronic dance music’s genre/sub-genre loop. It’s a call-it-what-you-want/it-is-what-it-is, maximum latitude album. No matter what I do though, whatever style I produce in, it’s always going to have that Chicane sound, feel and vibe to it.” – Nick Bracegirdle, Jan 2012

Chicane - Thousand Mile Stare

Chicane - Thousand Mile Stare. “No matter what I do, what style or genre, it’s always going to have that Chicane sound.” Nick Bracegirdle – Chicane. No bad thing, at all, especially when you listen to his new album, ‘Thousand Mile Stare’. UK producer Nick Bracegirdle, the mastermind behind Chicane, has come a long way since bursting onto the dance scene 15 years ago. He’s hit high peaks, creating instant classics like ‘Offshore’, ‘Saltwater’, ‘Don’t Give Up’, ‘Stoned In Love’ and the latter highlights ‘Poppiholla’ and ‘Going Deep’. His legacy of four successful artist albums, is now completed with a fifth, ‘Thousand Mile Stare’.The expression ‘hot off the heels’ does not apply when talking about the timing of Chicane albums. The tracks are crafted, caressed and encouraged into shape, and that takes time. ‘Thousand Mile Stare’ is the latest Chicane album to have that attention applied to it. Anyone looking to tap into what has kept Nick Bracegirdle busy the last twelve months will not be disappointed by what they hear on this release.
