something special by Johhny Jewel & Nat Walker
as they say: – Three years in the making, Symmetry – the project that began as a conceptual tangent between Glass Candy, Chromatics, Mirage, & Desire’s more abstract sides – finally sees its release this month. Themes For An Imaginary Film is two hours of claustrophobic cinematic bliss compiled for Painters, Writers, Photographers, Designers, Cruisers, Night Walkers, & Dreamers. Adrenaline drips thick like syrup across a horizon where memories become blurred scenes behind the windshield & yesterday’s faces fade as the road strobes to aggressive rhythms. Romantic melodies linger in the rearview mirror as chimera bells saturate the electric fog that’s slowly rolling in. -

When one thinks of the band Chromatics , they think of the italo/late night disco group fronted by the beautiful Ruth Radelet, but the band didn’t start out sounding like this. It would be impossible to try to figure the band out based on their record label releases. They’ve gone from dirty/sassy/no-wave punk to danceable/Giorgio Moroder-inspired disco. They’ve also gone through many line-ups with Adam Miller being the only original member. To truly understand how they’ve transformed into the present-day Chromatics, you would have to listen to all of their self-released tour cd-r’s. Since 2003, every time the Chromatics went on tour, they would sell cd-r’s made specially for the tour.

so, go to Contradefacto On Blast and get them all in one zip

Desire – If I Can’t Hold You [mp3]

Desire is the new project of  Johnny Jewel  (Chromatics and Glass Candy) and singstress Megan Louise. It’s so new that they even haven’t even got a myspace for it.  If I Can’t Hold You was officially leaked by Italians Do It Better as a teaser of the forthcoming Desire releases. I think it’s needless to say how great the song is. Discodust has more samples and you can read more about Johnny at the Portland Mercury.

DJ STV SLV – A Moment To Remember Haterz [mp3 ]
Glasses Malone VS Chromatics

the boys of The Hood Internet can always cheer us up with a brilliant mix
