VINYL FORMAT. At the start of the year, Chromatics wowed us with ethereal new vocalist Ruth on "In The City." Now we have the longer, sexier and obviously therefore better 12" version where the sinister strings take us on a journey further down the concrete river to deserted, shadowy and rain soaked citadels. LP Shining Violence is so close now that we can taste its neon blue metallic shine. -20jazzfunkgreats.co.uk

The first fully realized Chromatics tracks since the new lineup/mindset. Produced and recorded by Johnny from Glass Candy, the vocals for Nite were recorded as soon as Lena woke up from a nap for added effect. The track "Glass Slipper" has intense vocoder action over heavy Italo beats. These songs will blow you out of the water. These songs are ushering in a new era for both the band and the whole "scene." Just ask the kids!

Chromatics return with their second full-length album, "Plaster Hounds," the follow-up to their recent Ice Hatchets single (which unveiled the re-worked lineup of original vocalist/guitarist Adam Miller and new bassist/vocalist Nat Sahlstrom). The dark, ever-turbulent combo have temporarily recruited renowned percussionist Ron Avila (GET HUSTLE, HOLY MOLAR and formerly ANTIOCH ARROW and FINAL CONFLICT fame) to round out their swirling, hypnotic punk dubs and help "steer the band into rhythmic bliss" that th   [ read more ]
