Chromatics - Kill For Love, etc...

[Danny Boy]

This band deserves its own thread.

New track from the upcoming "After Dark 2" compilation:

CHROMATICS "LOOKING FOR LOVE" - YouTube

STREAM: Chromatics - Looking For Love - RCRD LBL

etc is so good

 

[Danny Boy]

etc is so good

If you include the track from the Drive soundtrack in etc, I concur.

 

[u2popmofo]

Tick of the Clock? That song rules. I think it was actually a single from the previous album. Maybe it was a single before the album, and then included on the album. I don't know, but I know it was a single.

 

[cobl04]

I don't know. Certainly not blown away at first. Extremely long, and it hasn't exactly grabbed my attention. I'll listen again though.

Oh yeah, someone please murder Cobbler.

 

[Danny Boy]

Cool that you can download it. I wish they would've split it up into individual tracks. Anyway, thanks for the link, Mofo.

Did anyone ever mention the "drumless" version of Kill For Love they posted a few months back? That's an interesting listen too.

I just used Fission to split this into individual tracks before importing it into iTunes.

Because I'm just that anal.

 

[u2popmofo]

Hook me up, brosenheimer.

 

[Danny Boy]

You got it.

IDIB fans:

Bleep is taking preorders for After Dark 2 on CD and vinyl. The shipping estimate is in 12 days, but that may just be a wild guess on their part.

[u2popmofo]

If they included instant downloads, I'd get them right now.

 

[Imperor]

At this rate, I'd rather just wait for it to go up on the IDIB store.

 

[Danny Boy]

You can now stream and download After Dark 2 on SoundCloud, though it's one continuous track.

AFTER DARK 2 by JOHNNY JEWEL on SoundCloud - Hear the world’s sounds

EDIT: Oh, I see Cobbler beat me to the punch in Random.

 

[Imperor]

Can't hold out anymore. I'ma have to get down on this since we have no release date in sight.

Also: shit, cat. I'm gonna spend so much money once the store gets all that stuff back in stock. Still need Night Drive and In the City, I'd probably shell out for that Desire LP, been dying to have a copy of beatbox for a long time now, need both ADs, and those two Chromatics EPs (though it calls them LPs) look quite nice.

 

[iron yuppie]

been dying to have a copy of beatbox for a long time now...

That thing is fantastic. The vocalist reminds me of a blend of Debbie Harry and Victoria LeGrand.

 

[u2popmofo]

Is there a freaking physical version of After Dark 2 yet?

 

[Imperor]

No but CHROMMIES AND CANDIES ARE PLAYING FFF OMG

 

[Imperor]

Real talk though I imagine it'll all be sorted once JJ is back from Europe.

 

[BigMacPhisto]

Is there a freaking physical version of After Dark 2 yet?

Annoyingly, no.

Just refresh the following page all the time. The label's store has the CDs for dirt cheap and some excellent Chromatics vinyl reissues on the way as well (also dirt cheap)...

Italians Do It Better — Home

Unfortunately, Johnny Jewel supposedly does the store himself and none of the vinyls on the way have shown up for two months (they were supposed to be out in May).

 

[Danny Boy]

Is there a freaking physical version of After Dark 2 yet?

Bleep.com sez it is "shipping in 6 days." I do not know if that is accurate.

More like Italians do it slower, amirite?

 

[Imperor]

I should've got that "Warm in the Winter" single when I had the chance. That shit makes me go buck wild.

 

[u2popmofo]

That song is awesome.

 

[Imperor]

So good. One of my favorite tracks of the year although it's not strictly speaking of this year. Whatever man. We love you.

I'm gonna drop like $100 when the store is stocked up and I don't even care.

 

[u2popmofo]

One of my favs too. One of the major reasons I'm looking forward to finally getting a physical copy of After Dark 2, sick of going to Youtube to hear it.

 

[cobl04]

All I want is a fucking digital download that won't cost me $17 (iTunes AU).

 

[iron yuppie]

Is there a freaking physical version of After Dark 2 yet?

I can't even find a place to get a legit digital version. Do you guys know where it's being sold?

Also, I'm going to be all over that 3xLP of After Dark 1 when it gets released.
