Chromatics are the new face of swanky disco. Once a spastic-punk band fueled by jangling guitars and hollering vocal fury, Chromatics have evolved into a post-Italo-disco outfit that’s helped spearhead a new wave of analog luster (see Glass Candy, Farah, and Mirage). The duo’s unique passion for lo-fi, minimal drum programming, cosmic piano leads, and subtle female vocals makes for the sexiest dance this side of Cerrone. The band has already produced a remix for disco-staple Antena, and is currently prepping singles for Troubleman’s newest dance imprint, Italians Do It Better. What’s charging the leaders of the post-Italo revolution? We checked in and got the scoop on the duo’s latest vinyl passions.
