Chessie is an American experimental music group consisting of Stephen Gardner and Ben Bailes.
Gardner started Chessie in 1994, while he was a member of the Washington, D.C. post-rock band Lorelei. His first full-length as Chessie, Signal Series, was issued in 1998 and was named Best Dance and DJ Album that year by Amazon.com.[1] In 2000 Gardner was joined by Bailes and they have since worked as a duo.[2] While Overnight received critical acclaim[3] and a spot on a New York Times music critic's best-of-2001 list,[4] a follow-up record did not materialize until 2008, when the group released Manifest on Plug Research. The repetitive nature of their music is inspired by trains and railroads.[5][6][7]
