Out today, CHXMERAS new EP, Second Sight is about “standing face-to-face with the wild, furious, anything goes, free-for-all, freefall present moment that we’re all living through.” CHXMERAS are a transatlantic collaboration between UK/Canadian musician Paul Finlay from the North East of England and Vancouver-based nêhiyaw/Denesuline musician Jarrett Martineau from Treaty 6 territory. Together, they weave immersive soundscapes with angular dub, experimental techno, mutating noise, and bit-crushed beats into a genre-blending, otherworldly experience. “When we set out to make this record, we didn’t know where we would end up, but we knew that we wanted it to sound and feel like the chaos and anxieties that are swirling all around us.”

To celebrate the EP’s release, they are sharing the new video for “Second Sight” which was “the first song we wrote for the album and it embodies the energy and relentlessness of the entire record,” says the band. “From the opening syncopated kick drums to the swarming synths, and rubbery bass stabs, it's a fast-moving, elastic track that bounces from dissonance to harmony, from staccato sounds to four on the floor techno. But it's also a turning point in the story. It's somehow one of the optimistic things we've made. It channels a precognitive sense that you might just survive the storm...the feeling that, even as you're hurtling through the fallout, and don't know where you're going, that you might just make it. The song holds onto the idea that even somewhere down the dystopian fury road of our burning world, you might just get to the other side. And ‘Second Sight’ holds onto that glimmer and premonition of another world that's worth fighting to try and reach.”

MORE ABOUT CHXMERAS
CHXMERAS released their debut album, Terminal City, in 2024 on Virtua94 Records. Hailed by RANGE Magazine as “a multilayered cinematic masterpiece", the album charts a sonic passage through the echoes and ruins of late-stage capitalism, environmental degradation, and urban decay. Using modular synths, drum machines, live efx, field recordings, film samples and live improvisation, CHXMERAS take listeners into a hallucinatory landscape where fractal paths, lost futures, and the disorienting present collide.
