## Summary

The Chap formed somewhere in the English countryside, though the details are hazy. Their music pulls from British psychedelic pop and folk, with a theatrical bent that shows up in their live performances. Songs like 'Carlos, Walter, Wendy, Stanley' and 'Fun and Interesting' have the kind of cryptic, pun-filled lyrics that became their calling card. Jonny Dovercourt handles most of the singing and songwriting, with Terry Edwards on various instruments...
