He already had two previous solo albums, but decided to incorporate the alter-ego into The Neighbourhood when he showed up to the filming of the music video in “full Chip regalia,” which consisted of silver body paint, spandex, and glitter, blue and red eyeshadow, and a set of gold false teeth. Rather, Rutherford intended to leave Chip as a solo act. I had no intention of bringing Chip into The Neighbourhood.” Referencing their single “Middle of Somewhere,” which was released in January, Rutherford said to Interview Magazine, “It was gonna be its own thing. Dead at 27,” Rutherford said to Interview Magazine while alluding to his former self as a member of the 27 Club. “I’ve had the idea for Chip for about two and a half years… I killed when I turned 27. “Ziggy was a character very addicted to cocaine – and I would say that Chip is addicted to the internet, a product of addiction from social media for so many years,” he said. Rutherford then explained to Apple Music his decision to remove himself from social media for nine months in 2019 and return with on Instagram, only to disappear again for seven months. Bowie has helped me route.” He also cited to Interview Magazine his interest in wanting to essentially take his creative ideas to the “full Ziggy extreme.” I’m not super masc, I’m not super feminine … I’m kind of a confused person, to be honest with you. “I’ve always been an in-between kind of fella. Inspired by the late rock star David Bowie’s alien-like alter-ego Ziggy Stardust, Rutherford explained to Interview Magazine his reasoning for his futuristic-looking second-self. Two years after the release of Hard to Imagine The Neighbourhood Ever Changing, Jesse Rutherford surprises millions of fans with his recently established alter-ego, “Chip Chrome,” which, according to Apple Music, “took him almost three years to complete from idea to conception.” Jesse Rutherford, of alternative band The Neighbourhood, presents us with alter ego “Chip Chrome” in a new record galvanized with love, self-reflection, and both external and internal conflict.
