Chet Sounds / Changes Happen To Everyone, Everywhere LP Black Vinyl

Chet Sounds 'Changes Happen To Everyone, Everywhere' LP Black Vinyl

The enigmatic Australian artist and producer, Chet Sounds returns with his sophomore album, Changes Happen To Everyone, Everywhere. After his contributions to Sydney’s adored psych-folk outfit The Uplifting Bell Ends on their albums, Super Giant III and IV, Chet Tucker launched his solo project as Chet Sounds in 2021 with the release of his self-titled debut album, which received international praise from New Commute (USA) and Shindig Magazine (UK). 

Continuing on his sonic journey, Chet’s sophomore album sees the humble artist honing his craft with some of his most melodic compositions, heartfelt storytelling and tasteful production yet. Harking back to 70’s classic rock, folk and psychedelia, Chet takes us through bygone eras and musical flavours conjured in the same universe as modern DIY artists such as Tex Crick, Traffik Island and Frank Maston.
​
Living between his family home in Kurnell, NSW (just south of Sydney) and with stints out in the Northern Territory where Chet works at an Indigenous Art Centre, the two lifestyles and surroundings are stark contrasts and evoke Chet Sounds’ musical ideas and lyrical subjects. Chet’s songs are often themed around the coming-of-age and facing up to various struggles of life and this rings true on his sophomore album.

Changes Happen To Everyone, Everywhere was recorded during 2021 in a shipping container on his family’s property. Chet wrote, performed, recorded and mixed everything on the record, aside from two tracks where his friend, Amber Newel plays violin. The 12 track record continues some of the musical styles heard on his 2021 debut album but features a wider array of instrumentation and more complex arrangements, giving this album a 70s orchestral rock sound. 
​
Blending vintage coloured recording equipment with intricate melodies, genius arrangements and technical brilliance, Chet Sounds’ forthcoming new album Changes Happen To Everyone, Everywhere will win the hearts of any listeners who celebrate the outsiders and underground geniuses in today’s rock music. With throwbacks to some of America’s best rock bands such as The Band, James Taylor, Todd Rundgren, David Axelrod and a slew of others that may come to mind, Chet’s new record merges nostalgia with imagination and takes his listeners on a complete journey that is sure to warm your soul.
