Chromatics are ready to release their next album, entitled Kill for Love.

The 2007 LP Night Drive made Chromatics a flagship act for Italians Do It Better, the Seattle-based label run by Mike Simonetti. That record closely followed the haunting indie-disco feel of Simonetti's label, with RA's Patrick McNally describing it in terms of "sleepwalking arpeggiated bass, frictionless nightglide synthesiser pads and rhinestone spatter of glittering high-end piano." Based on the title track, Kill for Love seems to trade the disco vibe for a more indie rock feel, while maintaining the lo-fi approach.

Kill for Love is slated for release in January. Word has it that Glass Candy—another Italians Do It Better group who share a member with Chromatics—also have an album in the works called Body Work. More details on that one soon.

Tracklist
01. Into the Black
02. Kill for Love
03. Back from the Grave
04. These Streets Will Never Look the Same
05. At Your Door
06. Lady
07. Flashback
08. Running from the Sun
09. Dust to Dust
10. Birds of Paradise
11. Electricity
12. Baby
13. The River

Italians Do It Better will release Kill for Love in January 2012.

Tue, 08 May 2012I love his work, in particular the Chromatics latest album. He's obviously a very talented guy, but something seems off to me with the way he comes across in interviews.
