Chromatics’ brand of artsy ’80s nostalgia has only gotten more intriguing since they first stepped out of the fog in the 2000s. And, as bandleader Johnny Jewel quoted s almost two years ago, the group’s forthcoming album “Dear Tommy” could be their last.
It’s been a long time coming. The follow-up to 2012’s Kill for Love was originally teased for a February 2015 release date. The track list was announced in December of 2014, It was still officially the same as of last September. So far, Chromatics have shared the title track “I Can Never Be Myself When You’re Around,” “Just Like You,” “In Films”, and “Shadow” “Cherry” and “Camera,” originally from 2013’s After Dark 2 compilation, were also on the track list.
