A studio album by Roger Chapman is always an
event. Since ?66, when the British
singer-songwriter emerged as the voice of his
generation with the seminal Family band, through
every twist of his four-decade solo career,
Chappo?s output has defied music industry
protocol, challenged genre, and held up a mirror
to the times. 'I?ve never stopped writing,? he
reflects, 'and with Life In The Pond, I felt the
need to hear what I?d put down in music.?

Released in 2021 on Ruf Records and Chappo Music,
Life In The Pond draws a line under a period in
which the 79-year-old had been absent from the
studio but privately prolific. Twelve years since
2009?s acclaimed rarities collection Hide Go Seek,
'A true lionheart still roars,? raved The Mirror,
Life In The Pond reconnects the veteran with
faces from his past ? including ex-Family
multi-instrumentalist John ?Poli? Palmer as
co-writer and producer while taking the pulse of
modern life. 'Mostly it?s anger at politicians
that?s kept me fired up,? says Chapman of the
lyrics. 'But I?m also influenced by daily
happenings, world news, people, acquaintances.
It?s all in the lyrics.?

As for the music, Life In The Pond connects the
dots between Chapman?s founding influences. 'It?s
about nostalgia for the different musical styles
that influenced my life. American rock from the
?50s to now. British R?n?B from the ?60s, like
Georgie Fame, the Stones, Zoot Money. Folk, Blues,
Motown, Stax, Blue Note jazz, Classical,
Americana, and Country. A whole mess of
influences?? That eclectic roll call won?t
surprise anyone who has followed Chappo through
his fascinating career, from the distinctive swirl
of jazz, blues, folk, prog, and psychedelia on
Family?s classic 1968 debut album, Music In A
Doll?s House, to the tougher Americana-influenced
stylings of Streetwalkers in the ?70s. More than
four decades later, Life In The Pond ties all
those threads together, finding Chapman?s voice in
vintage form and his musical radar more receptive
than ever, on a tracklisting that roams from
hypnotic seven-minute epic 'Nightmare #5? to
'Rabbit Got The Gun?s? dystopian soul-funk.

The world has turned a few times since ?66, but
Roger Chapman still has something to say ? and
with Life In The Pond, his voice as an artist is
more vital than ever. 'I?m very pleased and
grateful that Poli gave me the opportunity,? he
says, 'because I think we came up with the goods
on this album.?
