Meanjin/Brisbane band Ancient Channels return with Chimera, the first glimpse of their upcoming record Static Spirit, the follow‑up to 2020’s Moments in Ruin, due out on False Peak Records.
Chimera is a moody and emotional song that has the band’s signature otherworldliness flickering beneath the surface. A dreamy distortion, warped yet deliberate, permeates the track, and rather than erupting outright, it simmers with intent. This tension is channeled into tight, precise motion, and the song is an immediate standout from the upcoming album.
As the opening step toward Static Spirit, it sets a stark foundation, with sharp edges, controlled intensity, and a vision evolving into something moodier and more imposing.
