Next week, Neil Young and Crazy Horse will issue Americana , their first album in nine years, comprised entirely of reworked classic, American folk songs. In celebration of its release, Consequence of Sound decided to turn the tables and put together a list of our favorite covers of Young's exhausting back catalogue. There are plenty - hundreds of them - and they stretch back to as far as the '60s and '70s. Because we couldn't include them all, the list has been cut to a healthy collection of 25 solid inclusions. Something [...]

"A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men." -Willy Wonka Andrew Bird – “Eyeoneye” This felt version of Andrew Bird has a hell of a lot going on inside of him. Not only are there tiny little men working on machines in his chest, but also vibrant stars and planets swirling around inside his head. Chromatics – “These Streets Will Never Look the Same” I dare you not to immediately put on Drive after checking out this latest video from [...]

Barely three days after the official release of their new album Kill For Love , Italo disco act Chromatics have already unveiled the video for their new single “These Streets Will Never Look The Same”, an achingly beautiful slow jam with smooth synths and distorted vocals. Directed by Alberto Rossini, the video features clips of Adam Miller, Ruth Radelet and Johnny Jewel (better known as one half of Glass Candy ) driving around the empty streets of Las Vegas, Mexico City and Montreal. You can watch the [...]

Chromatics ' fourth studio album Kill for Love has seen much love from not only us here at SKoA, but from fans and the blogosphere as a whole, and deservedly so. It makes sense then that the Oregon outfit has been releasing a steady flow of videos and singles from the album, with the latest being the sixth single "These Streets Will Never Look The Same." The single has also been given the video treatment, with frequent collaborator Alberto Rossini once again helming the director's chair. Blurry black and white footage of the band on [...]
Hold on a second while we check – yep, Chromatics ’ impossibly slow-burning aural David Lynch film Kill for Love is still one of our favorite records of the year. We wouldn’t say we’re especially partial to new single “These Streets Will Never Look the Same” (mostly because we’re partial to the whole record), but we do love its “Edge of Seventeen” groove, distorted vocals, and fuzzed-out synths that sound like ghost transmissions. We’re also loving its video – Alberto Rossini , who made a handful of preview [...]
Chromatics have a new video for "These Streets Will Never Look the Same", which belongs to their latest album "Kill For Love". The clip was directed by Alberto Rossini, who's the same director for their videos of their latest LP. Enjoy...!
Chromatics : These Streets Will Never Look The Same - Video

After a complete shift in sound and an almost total personnel overhaul, Portland-based Chromatics started foraging through the dreamy landscape of ‘80s Italo disco to build their own achingly romantic synth constructions, joining a budding Euro-synth scene revolving around the Italians Do It Better label, including the likes of Desire and Glass Candy. Behind it all is Johnny Jewel, the label’s co-founder, who is a member of Chromatics and both of the aforementioned bands, making him something of a scene unto himself. Jewel was a key figure behind the much-praised soundtrack to Drive [...]
