History

The Charlatans are built around a Hammond organ and a loose, rolling groove, a sound that carried them from the Madchester era straight through Britpop and far beyond it. The band came out of Northwich in Cheshire at the turn of the 1990s, with Tim Burgess's light, slightly dazed voice on top and Rob Collins's organ at the centre of the arrangements. Early on they were grouped with the baggy scene, but by the mid-1990s the records leaned toward classic rock, soul and the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan side of the 1960s. Up to Our Hips and the self-titled album of 1995 moved them in that direction. Tellin' Stories in 1997 was their high point, with "One to Another" and "North Country Boy", and it was made under tragic circumstances: Collins was killed in a car crash during the sessions. The band carried on, and Burgess became one of the most visible and enthusiastic figures of British indie. A listener recognises the Charlatans by the swirling organ, the shuffling drums and a bright, hook-first approach to the chorus.
