No Geography
album by The Chemical Brothers
No Geography is the ninth studio album by English electronic music duo the Chemical Brothers, released on 12 April 2019 by Virgin EMI Records in the United Kingdom and by Astralwerks in the United States. The album features vocals by Norwegian singer Aurora and Japanese rapper Nene.
The album won the Grammy Award for Best Electronic/Dance Album at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards.
Background
The album's name was announced in November 2018. The album takes its name from a line in the poem Geography by the New York poet Michael Brownstein, whose reading of it is sampled on the title track.
The album's cover is an image taken from the booklet of the 1977 album Consequences by Godley & Creme. The artwork is that of a motorway or autobahn from the point of view of the rear of an early British Chieftain main battle tank turret; looking out over the gun, behind the commander of the tank, toward the empty highway ahead. The 'cloud face' on the cover of 'Consequences' is visible in the sky.
Promotion
The first single, "Free Yourself", was released on 28 September 2018, with "MAH" (Mad as Hell) following on 7 January 2019. Music videos were filmed for both songs.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “No Geography” as album by The Chemical Brothers. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as album by The Chemical Brothers. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q63108250. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2019, 2018 and 1977.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
