Despite their namesake, there's nary a cadence to be encountered on this Florida by way of Atlanta, GA conglomerate's two albums.  No gimmicks at all in fact, just a robust serving of twangy cum jangly guitar rawk with nods to the likes of such disparate forbearers as REM, Dream Syndicate, and Uncle Tupelo.  For those of you who need this quotient broken down a little further, The Chant were a little bit country, but way more rock and roll.  A relatively thorough bio can be procured on The Chant's modest Myspace hovel (linked above), and per usual, the online incarnation of the Trouser Press record guide leaves no stone unturned when it comes to these Dixie-based chaps.  The compact disk version of Two Car Mirage appends the bulk of the band's debut LP, Three Sheets to the Wind, in fact leaving merely one of it's nine tracks to languish on the turntable.  Lead guitarist Gregory Dean Smalley succumbed to complications due to AIDS in 1996, making the possibility of a Chant reunion a non-starter.
