Vector53 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Definitely glad to see VC supporting these guys still. They do good work. And as such, there is much to be looking forward to in the near future as Pitchfork has posted this article today: Chromatics have announced Dear Tommy, the follow up to 2012's Kill for Love. That's the cover above. It'll be out "in time for Valentine's Day" (a set date hasn't been announced) viaItalians Do It Better. Check out the tracklist below; that's the album cover, above. The version of "Cherry" that appears on the album is "similar" to the one that appeared on After Dark 2, though the version of "Camera" is different. This isn't the only project Johnny Jewel has in the pipeline, though. Glass Candy's albumBody Work and Symmetry's Still Life are also in the works. Jewel's soundtrack for Ryan Gosling's film Lost River will also be released on Italians Do It Better next year. A Chromatics/Glass Candy tour is shaping up for summer 2015. Recently, Jewel has been sharing several of the group's rarities on his personal Soundcloud. We've seen a reworked version of "These Streets Will Never Look the Same", "White Light", Chromatics' "I Can't Keep Running" (an alternate version of "Cherry"), Chromatics' cover of the pop standard "Blue Moon", an eight-track version of Chromatics' "At Your Door", and a track under his own name, "The Last Dance". He's also shared a demo version of Chromatics' "Shadow", an alternate version of Chromatics' "Birds of Paradise" called "Birds of Prey", and Johnny Jewel solo instrumentals "End Credits" and "Mr. Midnight". Dear Tommy: 01 Fresh Blood02 In Films03 Time Rider04 I Can Never Be Myself When You're Around05 Cherry06 She Says07 Just Like You08 4 A.M.09 Teacher10 Camera11 Dear Tommy12 Touch Blue13 After Hours14 Shadows15 In Silence16 Colorblind17 Endless Sleep I don't know about you guys, but I'm so pumped.

Vector53 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 They really do stack 'em deep and sell 'em cheap. I agree. Just waiting for the Tommy pre-order that will probably go up in late Jan. I could just end up waiting it out for that Feb 14. show and see if they have it then but we'll see. everything sold out already, damn. always ridiculous how much they sell They'll always repress them though. It'll be in different color as well I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldo Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 They sent a ton of posters this time around. If anyone is interested in trading a signed Glass Candy Beatbox for a signed Desire II or signed Tick of the Clock send me a note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazHilarant Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I was wondering, just from reading the last few pages there is much talk of these products being sold out. On the Italians Do It Better site they have Chromatics - Running from the Sun on Cherry Semi Clear Vinyl Chromatics - Night Drive 2xLP on Electric Night Drive Blue Vinyl Chromatics - Tick of the Clock (Signed) 12" Chromatics - Drumless on Electric Mint Opaque Vinyl Chromatics - Kill For Love 2xLP on Ivory Vinyl All listed as "Coming Soon" is this correct or have these already sold out?

GazHilarant Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Damn, never heard of these guys until like 2 days ago.. Thought I could buy the whole thing in the next couple days. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoney Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Damn, never heard of these guys until like 2 days ago.. Thought I could buy the whole thing in the next couple days. haha They are really good at keeping everything (except some of the obscure singles) in print. And the prices will make you want it all even more. Probably the single best prices from a label. GazHilarant and natenomm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill have to patiently wait for the new issues. Thanks for the information gkersey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhitmuzik Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 They print a ton of records and they sell out super quickly. Like, pressings of 10 grand sell out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natenomm Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Did anyone else get a manilla envelope with a poster inside from these guys recently? I had one show up out of the blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinch Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Not that, but I did receive at least 6 of those big posters and a bunch of album art stickers with my last order (bought Drumless + Running from the Sun). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldKentuckyShark Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Did anyone else get a manilla envelope with a poster inside from these guys recently? I had one show up out of the blue. I haven't but I've only ordered once from them though. It may take more than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natenomm Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I have all of their LPs except one, so that may have something to do with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inlimbo Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Did anyone else get a manilla envelope with a poster inside from these guys recently? I had one show up out of the blue. Yep. Excellent business model = spoiled happy fans. All I'm missing Kill For Love, and the ivory release sounds awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetrackt Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 For those who care or aren't aware, Chromatics has been around since like 2K2 and have some killer Gold Standard Labs LP's that should not be discounted. You can find Chrone Rats & plaster Hounds on discogs for like 10 dollars. But those records are more post punk and angsty, still sick. For my money, Chromatics is one of the best bands that ever was... And they have evolved into a behemoth since Johnny jewel joined. Can't wait for dear tommy!

natenomm Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I've received so many copies of After Dark 2 on CD from them that I started giving them out to people who come over to my place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarostino Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I've received so many copies of After Dark 2 on CD from them that I started giving them out to people who come over to my place.Ha, I also got one with almost every order I put in so far. The great thing about the bunch of posters wasn't only that they were there. They also protected the records from sliding around on their way to Germany - no seam splits!
