Kill For Love sans drums

Chromatics are now offering up percussion free versions of 11 songs (the “pop songs”) from their album-of-the-year contender Kill For Love. Per Johnny Jewel:

“I think that the drums on the album are so heavy, that it’s interesting to hear the record as this almost empty, almost a cappella kind of thing.”

Hear what he means here. It’s haunting, alluring stuff.

Chromatics will also be touring with Hot Chip later this summer. Score.

Get it now and hear for yourself.

Out Now, FINALLY: Chromatics - Kill for Love

Even after all the false starts and delays, totally worth it.

Get it now and hear for yourself.

The new Chromatics album Kill for Love is a week away from release (for real this time!). To ramp up anticipation even further, here’s “Back From the Grave,” the latest (and best) single to leak from it, complete with another Alberto Rossini-directed clip.

Different versions of this song have been floating around for a few years, and now we finally have the official video, with footage shot by Rhys Balmer and Alberto Rossini at the Silver City Prom last year. 

The release of Chromatics’ highly anticipated new album Kill For Love is nigh. Between this and the new single that leaked earlier this week, I’m thinking it will be worth the wait.

Any day now, guys.

Chromatics continue their streak of stunning covers with this new take on Neil Young’s classic “Into the Black.” This is the next single from their forthcoming Kill for Love album, which is said to be dropping this week (knock on wood).
