Chicanery is the debut album of the band Chicanery, a collaboration between Warren Cuccurullo (Frank Zappa, Missing Persons, and Duran Duran); and Neil Carlill (Delicatessen and Lodger).

[1] The debut single, "Hubert Selby Song", that draws from the life and works of American writer Hubert Selby Jr., was released, along with "Gold Pavilions" as an extra track on iTunes on April 27, 2010.

A number of years after both Cuccurullo and Carlill relocated to the U.S., they began work on Chicanery.

Additional guest musicians include Stuart Dayman, Bizarro Patanè, Damon Muldavin, and Manuel Stagars.
