about

The new single from Broken Chanter (aka David MacGregor) - You’ve Got To Stop Worrying All The Time heralds incendiary third LP Chorus Of Doubt, out 5th April 2024 on Chemikal Underground.

Agitated, taut, post-punk verses recalling the likes of Gang of Four, Erase Errata and Wire, give way to lush pop choral assurances that lift the song somewhere else entirely. Charlotte Printer's bass is in
turns chunky and elastic and is melded symbiotically with Martin Johnston's powerhouse drumming and the abrasive insistent guitars of Bartholomew Owl and MacGregor himself.

A fitting introduction to the most immediate Broken Chanter record to date, You’ve Got To Stop Worrying All The Time tackles the pervading anxiety the individual can feel in a modern world of mirrors: if we’re continually navel gazing, saturated by constantly refreshing stimuli and
surrendering to distorted self-images created by big tech algorithms - what’s being done by Power,
just out of view?

lyrics

Lyrics:

Here’s a test
Here’s a minnow
Here’s a threat encased in a pillow
Where’s the light?
Where’s your middle?
Where’s the cherub on your shoulder saying:

Honey, you look fine
You’ve got to stop worrying all the time
You’re keeping the best in mind
But the best changes all the time

What’s yer name?
Where’s yer fella?
Who’s this posh boy cradling his Stella?
Whatsherface?
How’s the weather?
Where’s the cherub on your shoulder saying:

Honey, you look fine
You’ve gotta stop worrying all the time
You’re keeping the best in mind
But the best changes all the time
You feel your time is running out
It’s been that way for years
You keep an overnight bag there
You’ve never shifted gears

Honey, you look fine
You’ve gotta stop worrying all the time
You’re leaving the worst behind
And the best isn’t on your mind
You know your time is running out
You’re claiming back the years
You keep yourself to yourself now
You were never really here
