Chromatics (not to be confuzzled with Chromeo) are a Seattle-based band currently touring Europe, sharing their brand of minimal dark disco. The lead singer's vocals are often a little dreamy, sleepy and a little creepy, and they love doing a cover; Kate Bush and Bruce Springsteen have been tackled. And, while they remain pretty faithful to the originals, they still bring something to their versions.
Chromatics have just released the video for their instrumental 'Killing Spree' from their 2007 album
Night Drive. The video's really cinematic, dark and a little scary.
