Wow these were all fantastic! It was very close but I went with Dangerous Drug as my top choice, just beating out Darkside. It’s funny, I scrolled down and clicked play on Darkside before I started reading the article and writing 15-20 seconds I was thinking this has to be an Italians Do It Better release. Such an iconic and distinctive vibe. Really looking forward to digging into the entire album!
I love them and the cover you're talking about - absolutely fire 🔥 How is that Chromatics have this incredible ability to take legendary songs and make them somehow even more cinematic, and effortlessly cool? Their covers never feel like mere reinterpretations, but like entirely new experiences, right? "The Sound of Silence", "I'm On Fire", "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun", "Running Up That Hill" - each one strips the song down to its emotional core and rebuilds it in that signature Chromatics style. It’s like they honor the original while reshaping it into something fresh and hauntingly beautiful. Damn, bands like that are so rare! Wow, you’ve absolutely hit my soft spot with this... 😅

That's awesome to hear! So glad you enjoyed these. This label has such a characteristic style, right?
For sure, very much a characteristic style. I was a huge fan of Chromatics cover of “Into The Black”. Have you heard it?
