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. 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 library. 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, Drowned in Sound, The Alternative and many more, whilst making numerous best-of-the-year lists.

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

"CHUCK combines new wave, emo, and indie rock elements with folksy songwriting...celebrates and pokes fun at the big apple, the city he loves to hate." – The Alternative

"Songwriter Charles Griffin Gibson examines the aura of his adopted hometown of New York City. Its mythos looms large and Gibson both parodies the city’s self-importance and himself for buying into it." – Post-Trash

"'Frankenstein Songs For the Grocery Store' sees CHUCK coming to terms with adulthood and life, realising tough, universal lessons and making his peace with them. Although a lot of this collection deals in frustration, CHUCK's charisma shines through - hope exists in spite of everything." – The Line of Best Fit

“Its nostalgia shows most in the balance between a sunny melody and little pokes that could only come from an observer with a bit of distance…” – Bedford & Bowery

"If you love how Daniel Johnston shrinks the complexity of human relationships into a single sentence and yet somehow retains its profound meaning… If you believe more people should listen to Frog or Trust Fund, because, well just because… And if you haven’t quite got the hang of grown-up stuff yet but your age sets higher expectations than you can manage to muster, then you need to make CHUCK, aka Charles Griffin Gibson, your roommate. Seriously, do not let this one pass you by." – Gold Flake Paint
