Nearly six years after Italians Do It Better released the seminal After Dark mix, spearheading the career of Johnny Jewel - aka Mr. Chromatics - the label finally put out the much anticipated sequel. The second mix features help from Jewel's aforementioned Chromatics (three songs), Glass Candy , Mirage, Symmetry, and plenty more worth the time. Click here for the entire setlist . Downloads are available now on iTunes , but for those waiting for the real deal, physical copies will be distributed in the near future. [...]
By Danielle Shields February 07, 2013 It has been exactly a year since The Soft Hills released their debut album, The Bird Is Coming Down To Earth, in January 2012. The indie-folk band have always been focused on guiding the listener on a journey; all you need to hear is ‘Phoenix’ to know that, and their new album, Chromatisms, continues down this surrealist route. Their psychedelic inclinations for making music make you feel as though you have been locked up in a dream without any escape. Even titling the record Chromatisms suggests an [...]
El 2012 se acaba y llegó la hora de hacer el difícil recuento de todo lo que nos dejó. Tal como se veía venir desde el año pasado y gracias a muy buenos representantes, el R&B tomó mucha fuerza y diferentes caminos. Sin embargo, muchas otras buenas propuestas novedosas surgieron. µ sique les presenta los que para nosotros son los mejores discos del año : Cinco amigos de Brooklyn que plasmaron lo que ya habíamos escuchado en sus sencillos anteriores en un LP.

Various music bloggers (us included) have thought it utterly escandalo that minimalist synth duo Brusque Twins were for so long not signed to a label. Thankfully, the good folks over at Visage Musique have rectified that. Made-up of Hollie Hensman and Derek George , Brusque Twins released their latest EP "A Voice In The Night" in march. Playing with a sense of tension, this duo creates intense, driving minimalist synth music [...]
Italians Do It Better were one of the first record labels to make a significant name for themselves through music blogs in the early days of the format circa 2007 and 2008. The label's well-maintained blogspot , which is still in effect, became essential reading for bloggers who were interested in obscure heritage and rarely-heard artefacts of music past which informed the label's own artists. The roster delved into Italo-disco, synth pop and moody dance music; all manners of shiny retro-obsessed electronic pop music. Here was an incestuous bunch of artists: Desire, Chromatics, Glass Candy, Professor Genius, Nite [...]

"An all-in-all somewhat heterogeneous album worth the while for its experimental, lo-fi and enthralling features". Chromatics - Kill For Love (2012) 7.0/10 Italians Do It Better Cruising down the highway Drive propelled them on at high speed, Chromatics seemed to have lifted off the tar and dirt roads of Oregon and grown airborne thanks to the zero gravity “Kill For Love”. If the title of this fourth album rings like that of a bittersweet Shakespearean journey lead by a 21st century Moriarty, the quest would have to be [...]
Chromatics - Kill For Love By Greg Salter Everyone likes a narrative, and Chromatics have woven a fair few in and around their music – there’s the shift the band undertook in the mid-00s from unspectacular guitar band to streamlined synth collective with ambition, driven (it would appear) by Johnny Jewel. There’s also the cinematic narratives that have formed the basis for the band’s long-players – 2007’s breakthrough Night Drive loosely gestured towards the idea that it might soundtrack one woman’s post-club, late night car journey, [...]
On its latest LP, Chromatics bring forth a tried and true style, bringing reverb-soaked vocals, post-punk guitars, synths, and drum machines together for a bedroom pop opus that lasts 90 minutes. WATCH THE REVIEW
Chromatics is a personal favourite of mine. 2007’s “Night Drive” is one of my favourite albums of all time: I fell asleep to that album every night for months. The production is perfect and the vocals where haunting. A lot of songs were leaked from “Kill For Love” before the release and I didn’t listen to any, I refused. This is a new Chromatics album we’re talking about. I could only listen to the album from start to finish. So the wait was killing me knowing that there were songs out [...]

the brilliant Kill For Love LP by Chromatics a must hear a must have
I was going to pull down the live video of this song I posted a couple of days ago after they released the damn thing with no fanfare today. I thought I'd leave it there as a chance for our listeners to compare the studio version to the live performance. Chromatics, as I said before, [...]
