Chromatics have shared a futuristic new single, ‘Famous Monsters.’ You can listen to the new song below.
‘Famous Monsters’ is the second new song from the band this year, following on from ‘TOY’ which was released back in February. The single came in three different versions: ‘TOY,’ ‘TOY (On Film),’ and ‘TOY (Instrumental).’
Describing that song, Chromatics wrote: “It’s a song about trying to forget someone you’re still in love with even though they treat you like an object. I’m not your TOY.”
You can watch the video for Chromatics latest, ‘Famous Monsters’ below. The video has been directed by Johnny Jewel.
The singles follow the surprise release of the band’s album, ‘Closer To Grey’ last year; a deluxe edition of the album is now also available to stream.
The album was the electronic outfit’s first full-length in seven years, following on from 2012’s ‘Kill For Love‘. The album – released via Italians Do It Better – contained 12 tracks including ‘The Sound Of Silence’, ‘Twist The Knife’, and ‘Through The Looking Glass’.
“I was about a year deep into recording what would become Windswept when I heard that David was making Season three,” said Jewel at the time. “It’s been a year since Chromatics performed at the Roadhouse. With disintegrated memory through the haze of television snow, I wanted to share a glimpse behind the red curtain.”
“The project began as a sonic exploration of the sounds I was hearing in my nightmares. I wanted to find my way out of the maze by focusing on beauty over fear — like the way the fractured sunrise looks in a dream.”
This summer, Chromatics will appear at All Points East and Primavera festival.
