The Chameleons - Whats Does Anything Mean? Basically

The Chameleons’ sophomore LP, What Does Anything Mean? Basically (1985), deepens the band’s post-punk palette with darker, more introspective textures. Winding, delay-laden guitars and propulsive basslines carry the listener through a moody, cinematic landscape—melancholic yet vividly melodic, from the opening “Singing Rule Britannia” to the brooding “Soul in Isolation.”

This clear vinyl edition preserves the album’s spacious, atmospheric production, highlighting shimmering guitar interplay and the band’s knack for tension-and-release dynamics. It’s a singular statement in the Chameleons’ catalog: haunting, expansive, and essential for fans of textured, emotionally charged post-punk.
