The Chesterfields

The Chesterfields are an indie pop band, emblematic of the jangly guitar-pop sound that resonated throughout the 1980s. They hail originally from Yeovil, Somerset in England, and were part of the indie music scene that flourished during that time. Known for their bright melodies and whimsical lyrics, The Chesterfields carved a niche for themselves amidst the C86 movement, a genre term coined from a cassette compiled by the British music magazine NME.

Despite a period of inactivity, The Chesterfields have experienced a renaissance in recent years, much to the delight of vintage indie aficionados. Their recent release "My Bed Is An Island," maintains the quintessential heart of their early work with updated nuances that speak to their growth as musicians. "New Modern Homes" and "Mr. Wilson Goes To Norway" play upon themes of domesticity and adventure with a charming British twee-pop sensibility. With "Our Songbird Has Gone," they offer a reflective and tender melody, showcasing their ability to weave poignant narratives through song. The Chesterfields continue to captivate both old fans and new listeners with their enduring sound and heartfelt storytelling.
