Forces vives de la nouvelle vague pop qui déferle sur l'hexagone, les bordelais de Pendentif forment un jolie trait d'union entre la charmante pop anglo-saxonne et notre belle langue de Molière. Leurs compositions pleines d'intelligence, de fraîcheur et de charme combinent avec malice la pop contemporaine de groupes comme MGMT, The Drums ou Metronomy avec ce que la variété française fait de meilleur. Bien reçus par la presse (Les Inrocks, Magic, Magicrpm, Serge...) dès leur premier EP sortie en mars 2011, les cinq bordelais ont depuis dispensé leur pop ensoleillée aux quatre coins de la France [...]

Il y a plus de vingt ans, Neil Tennant, grande gueule pop parmi tant d’autres, avouait regretter que ses morceaux soient perçus uniquement comme des machines à faire balancer les bourrelets sur les dance floors. Comme si un songwriter digne de ce nom ne pouvait donner envie de se trémousser. Il est vrai qu’il ne faut pas spécialement être Johnny Cash ou Lou Reed pour savoir épancher son spleen, se revendiquer cynique, écrire « I love you, you pay my rent ». C’est peut‑être une des raisons qui avait poussé Pet Shop Boys à reprendre le standard Always On My Mind [...]

Don't get me wrong. Chromatics already had one of the year's highlight albums with Kill For Love - a towering, dramatic collection of synth-soaked anthems, most of which might sound just as comfortable in a stadium as they would on your car stereo driving home at 3 AM. With that said, sometimes less is more. This week saw Chromatics drop a drumless version of their album, completely identical apart from the lack of percussion, and the result is something pretty stunning. Isolating those soft vocals, heavy waves of synth, and wistful guitar peels makes Johnny Jewel's fuzzy, [...]

( more by Zach Pollack ) Portland, OR post-punk-turned-synth-pop outfit Chromatics are back with their first full length since 2007's Night Drive .

Jonah Bromwich does it better. When grappling with a work of art, it's occasionally helpful to imagine it within a different medium. That’s a pretty pretentious idea, so allow me to illustrate. The Wire is a commonly used example: the staggering depth, characterization, and pacing reminded most critics of a novel not a TV show. Or take Gabriel Garcia Marquez's gorgeous One Hundred Years of Solitude , in which characters and events so frequently echo that you’re left feeling as if you’ve just been reading a rich and moving tapestry.

It was only matter of time and with so much great new stuff around something had to give. There are no fewer than eight new entries this week led by cerebral Finnish pop mainstays Cats On Fire with the first single of their new album, All Blackshirts To Me. That's in at 9. If you have looked to the right of the screen you might have noticed that we're so impressed with it that we've made our album of the week. Joining Cats On Fire is Brighton producer Lorca, who we featured last week with his piece of percussive dance [...]

Nachdem ich mit Desire neulich ja schon eine Band der „Neo-Noir-Disco“-„Welle vorgestellt habe, kommen nun die Chromatics , die ebenfalls auf dem Italians Do It Better-Label sind und musikalisch in ein vergleichbares Horn stoßen. Die Veröffentlichung ihres neuen Albums «Kill for love» steht an, und vier Songs daraus wurden bereits mit Videos versehen. Monoton-melancholische Großstadtatmosphäre deluxe! Discomusik zum Nicht-Tanzen. Wem Lana del Rey zu elegisch ist, kann sich seine Depressionen hier ebenfalls gut abholen. (Übrigens ist das LdR-Album bisher meine CD des Jahres, auch wenn man das bei dem ganzen Hype um sie gar nicht mehr zugeben [...]

A new Alberto Rossini directed video from Chromatics upcoming album Kill For Love .

Alberto Rossini is restless here is the video for the fifth single of Chromatics ‘ Kill For Love
Chromatics released a video for "Back From the Grave", directed by frequent collaborator Alberto Rossini. The footage was shot in 2010 at Rossini's chalet, and the assortment of vague close-ups and neon reflections provides just an enjoyable dose of nostalgia, just like Chromatics' odes to '80s synth-pop and post-punk. The track is off Chromatics' upcoming

Chromatics release the fifth single from their upcoming LP, Kill For Love . You know the drill by now; "Back From The Grave" is sexy, dark synthpop and comes with an equally dark and convoluted video from filmmaker Alberto Rossini. We have yet to hear a solid release date for Kill For You ; but at this point, it looks like it's making a slow YouTube roll-out.
