about

THE ELEGANT CHASERS KICK OFF 2024 WITH A 2ND SINGLE FROM THE REBOOT!
After a turbulent year out of the limelight "The Chasers" follow up last December's single RUNNING AROUND THE SUN, with THE HUNGRY GHOST! Production duties return solely to Maz who also incorporates Piano, & the aptly named "Chasettes Choir" to further expand that familiar wall of sound! The tune also includes Maz's live sidekick & good friend Mr Lloyd Pritchard on percussion for the first time. The lyrics are based around Physician & Author Gabor Mate's book 'In The Realm Of Hungry Ghosts' which deals with addiction, the root causes & how it can eat away at anyone, it doesn't discriminate.

It's musically the heaviest song to date with nods to modern bands such as Those Damn Crows, Stone Sour & Incubus as well as 90's underground genius's Therapy? The Fatima Mansions & Paradise Lost. All isn't lost - "Your are not the one I need!"

lyrics

Pain, there’s nothing worse than pain - I try
Gains, trying to engage - survive
It’s what we crave, and we all lie
It means today the chance to fly
But Hell is always lingering inside

Cuts me down
Breaks me down
Hunts me down
You are not the one I need

Shame, will seep into my veins for life
Stain, the thoughts that rearrange my mind
The walls will crumble, I seek the trouble
The risk I feel for better times
The rolling thunder, those Spanish eyes
I’m lost again, I fantasise

Cuts me down
Breaks me down (Breaks me down)
Hunts me down
You are not the one I need…

Stay, the comfort that I feel tonight.
I wish, that someone will erase my cries

Cuts me down
Breaks me down (Breaks me down)
Hunts me down
You are not the one I need

Cuts me down
Gets me down (Breaks me down)
Hunts me down
You are not the one I need
You are not the one I bleed
You are just a broken dream

about

The Elegant Chasers England, UK

Just like on Foo Fighters' debut album there is only 1 mastermind behind The Elegant Chasers, Maz Loizou. Having been made redundant Maz retrained as a fire alarm engineer in '20. Feeling cheated & exhausted he'd write songs around a derelict London. First 4 singles received over 10000 streams on Spotify. Debut Album Sentimental Dust released 8/7/22. But The Chasers are back with a bang in 2024! ... more
