Today, the Spotlight shines on guitarist Knox Chandler .

Knox's name might ring a bell from his work with The Psychedelic Furs, Siouxsie and the Banshees, or maybe from his string arrangements on Depeche Mode's Exciter (Mute, 2001). However, his latest project takes an entirely different turn. After decades in the music business bouncing between New York City, Berlin, and stages around the world, Knox found himself back in his Connecticut hometown caring for his aging mother.

What started as a personal necessity became an artistic revelation. His new project, The Sound (Blue Elastic, 2025), is a collection of guitar-driven soundscapes and a book of paintings, photographs, and written meditations, all capturing his rediscovery of the Long Island Sound shoreline where he grew up. It's part memoir, part nature journal, and completely unlike anything else you'll hear this year.

Knox is here to walk us through this ambitious multimedia project and share how returning home can lead to your most honest and creative work.
