CHUCK is the music of Charles Griffin Gibson, an award-winning East Coast-raised American filmmaker living and working in Oslo, Norway. By day he edits documentary films, by night he writes and self-records DIY singer-songwriter oddities. He debuted with the Frog-produced Let’s Make Out EP before debuting for Audio Antihero (Frog / Magana / Nosferatu D2 / Cloud) with the My Band Is A Computer career retrospective. His last album was 2017’s Frankenstein Songs for the Grocery Store, but in 2024 CHUCK has begun to hear the call of the unreleased and obscure songs in his catalogue. The bitter and breezy Indie Pop of “Nothing Matters to Me Now” is the first in a series of releases.

Gibson’s voice, quirks and earnestness have often proved polarising but his undeniably creativity, wit and passion for art in all its forms have made this one-man-band into a cult-favourite who has earned support from the BBC (Gideon Coe / Stephen McCauley), Indie Shuffle, DIY Mag, Post-Trash, The Line of Best Fit, Bedford & Bowery and many more.

CHUCK Press:

"Charles Griffin Gibson, aka CHUCK, is the type of artist who not many know, but those who do, instantly fall in love with. The New York native, who describes his music as "eclectic weird kid alt. pop", released one of 2015's best, yet most unheralded records, My Band Is A Computer, a gloriously unhinged collection of songs that combined bedroom pop and DIY indie with wry lyrics and a wicked sense of humour." – Drowned in Sound

"A seductive assemblage of grungy indie pop. Mashing together vibrato synths, simple percussion, and twanging electric guitar. The melodies are floaty and plastic -- kind of like window shopping on a dusky weekday...The hauntingly warm colors of the landscape and characters transfix as the vocals pour out like molasses...I feel nostalgic, caught in an old memory." – Indie Shuffle

“Straddling the line between bedroom pop and high fidelity indie rock….Both gorgeous and joyously rough-around-the-edges.” – DIY Mag

“It’s the kind of Daniel Johnston vibe if Daniel Johnston was brought up with The Strokes and Notorious BIG. By that we mean it has the integrity, the loneliness, the sad, happy, and melancholic, even the nostalgic and romantic.” – Third Outing

Nothing Matters to Me Now

CHUCK - Nothing Matters to Me Now

Lyrics

Kindly teach thy bride in secret
In the long and dreary evenings
When you're sitting at the fireside
Teach one year in words of kindness
Teach with eyes of love a second
In the third year teach with firmness
If she should not heed thy teaching
Should not hear thy kindly counsel
After three long years of effort
Cut a reed upon the lowlands
Cut a nettle from the border
Teach thy wife with harder measures u-uh

In the fourth year if she heed not
Threaten her with sterner treatment
With the stalks of rougher edges
Do not touch her on the forehead
Nor upon the ears nor visage
If a ridge be on her forehead oh
Or a blue mark on her eyelids
Then her mother would perceive it
Her father would take notice
All the village-workmen see it
And the village-women ask her
'Has thou been in heat of battle'

Hit me baby one more time
Hit me baby one more time she says and I will kill you uh-u

Shame her thus to do her duty
Strike not yet, though disobeying
Should she disregard this warning
Gather all thy sticks in silence
Gather quietly the birch-wood
That the father may not fancy
And the mother not imagine
That thy calling came from anger
And thy noise from discontentment
Hide it underneath thy mantle
That the stranger may not see it
Show it to thy wife in secret

Hit me baby one more time
Hit me baby one more time
Hit me baby one more time she says
Hit me baby one more time she says and I will kill you uh-u
