Chromatics' Kill For Love is a dazzling, ambitious statement of italo-disco revivalism wrapped in contemporary synth-pop sensibilities. This 2012 double album on Italians Do It Better showcases the band's mastery of mood, texture, and sophisticated production. The influences are audible—Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroder, '80s new wave—but synthesized into something distinctly their own. Tracks shimmer with reverb and yearning, vocals often processed and distant, creating an atmosphere that's beautiful and slightly haunting. Johnny Jewel's production is meticulous. This album reveals new details with repeated listening. The original pressing is increasingly difficult to find, making this an important addition to serious electronic music collections.
