what's the story with this lot then?
I like the album but there's something about them that turns me off...
Instrumental tracks are cool though, sounds like the soundtrack to Phantasm.

first cd (chrome ratz) was sixteen tracks of very lofi nowave. some great songs stuck in there. hannah (gossip) on drums/bits of vocals. second album (plaster hounds) dumped her in favour of the guy from get hustle and a drum machine. much darker. amazing album. then they got too friendly with johnny jewel from glass candy and dropped noise for keyboards. i haven't heard the new one, but the night 12" was great. they don't seem to tour much which is a pity.

I only have the new record. It's actually well good, been listening to it a lot.
Gotta check out the other stuff.

what zha said, pretty much on the money, last album is great and new direction is incredible. they have toured with Glass Candy in the past, they don't tour much as they both have full time jobs, we tried to do it last year but they decided to tour the US, as there time was tight. Johnny Jewel is notorious for taking ages to do tracks, spent a year on one, trying to get the strings right, i have a whole albums worth on a cdr that was meant to come out on troubleman that was scraped. yeah, bloody great band

maybe the Kate Bush cover?

For me thats the only low point on what is otherwise a great album.

Yeah, Aron summed it up nicely there. I don't have the second album but Chrome Ratz is jangly no-wave classness for the most part, very different to what they are doing now. I think Night Drive is amazing but I'm not too fussed on Shining Violence, although it may be a bit of a grower.

Going to see Glass Candy in Melbourne in March.|..|

I prefer Glass Candy to Chromatics but pretty much everything on Italians Do It Better is well worth hearing. Especially the 'After Dark' comp from last year.

This crowd Tiedye from Sweden have an e.p coming out next month on IDIB. Their cover of 'Nothing Else Matters' is narcotic disco coooool!

Is this the same band that did the tune In The City that was on Foggy Notions free cd? I really liked that a lot. Can't believe there isn't more than one band called the Chromatics though. Is it really the same guys? Jangly no-wave sound nothing like that track.
