Music and Lyrics by Ancient Channels

Ancient Channels are Kelly Hanlon, Bec Martin, Talia Bond, Cameron Martin and Lloyd Martin.

Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by Cameron Smith at Incremental Records.

Chimera is the first single from the band’s upcoming second record, Static Spirit, due 2026. The song is a driving darkwave/postpunk track built around a steady rhythm and controlled aggression. Its focus is the struggle to contain anger in an environment designed to amplify it.
The band released their debut, Moments in Ruin, in 2020. Static Spirit builds on that foundation with a colder, more deliberate sound.
Chimera sets the tone—sharp, tense, and contained.
