Kill for Love
“Chromatics' first album since 2007's stunning Night Drive is a 90-minute tour-de-force that gives their nocturnal foreboding a new sense of grandeur. Though long, Kill for Love is lushly atmospheric and replayable, with expansive interstitial tracks balancing its impressive clutch of gorgeous synth-pop singles.”
Closer to Grey
“Chromatics' surprise return is as thrilling as we've come to expect”
Closer to Grey
“Closer To Grey is tightly-edited return for the masters of noir-pop”
Night Drive
“Like labelmates Glass Candy, the Chromatics recently ditched their early aggro/noise-punk beginnings. Switching labels from the art-rock institution Troubleman Unlimited to the sleeker Italians Do It Better imprint, the trio's gone even darker, feeding sultry, minimal disco-punk through spidery horror flick synths and scuffed guitars.”
Closer to Grey
“The charm of Chromatics has always been their ability to create musical pastiche that winks at parody, but is so thoroughly and consistently within a world of their own redecoration that authenticity is never an issue. With Closer to Grey they've managed to harness the full energy from their chill fusion into their most ornately framed creation yet.”
Closer to Grey
“Chromatics set their surprise “seventh” album at the witching hour, telling a sometimes-muddled tale of heartbroken lovers reaching out to the spirit realm.”
Wavelength is the Letterboxd for music.
