New Chromeo single: “Don’t Turn The Lights On”

June 29th, 2010

I have an older brother, his name is David and he has a band called Chromeo. You know this, right? I just need to make sure once in a while.

(Are you following them on twitter yet? They’re new in town.)

Chromeo have a new album just around the corner, and having witnessed the brick-by-brick assembly of that beast, I can’t wait for the world to hear it. Dave always sings me his songs before he records them. Somewhere on one of my old MiniDV tapes I have footage of him doing Momma’s Boy on the air-Wurli and air-bells when it was just in his head… I need to dig that up. But I digress. They recorded the new album at a studio just a few blocks from my apartment, so I’d go visit them every evening and was the go-to “how does this sound?” guy. I even tracked their vocals on one of the songs. But truthfully, the way they work is extremely self-contained. If they do reach out to someone on the outside, it’ll be some random saxophonist, which has happened a few times already.

Now it’s all done, and it is my pleasure to present to you: “Don’t Turn The Lights On”.
Buy it on iTunes! (That’s the US link but it’s also out in the UK.)

  3. Oh boy, can’t wait for this album to come out. Don’t know why an A-Trak/Chromeo tour hasn’t happened yet.

  4. I do not accept as true with this particular article. Even so, I had researched in Yahoo and I’ve found out that you are right and I was thinking in the wrong way. Keep on writing top quality articles such as this.

    Interesting to learn how he goes about recording an album. I guess many artists don’t know how successful the album will be and it is always a good ides to get feedback in advance.
