The Chromatics album “Closer to Grey” features a haunting rendition of Simon & Garfunkel’s “Sound of Silence,” and that track is now the basis of a new EP they just released digitally for $1. The band have had an unexpectedly productive year. After pushing back Dear Tommy for four years—if it’s even coming out at all at this point—the band released new album Closer to Grey, their first full-length album in seven years. Now, they’re adding to that with a new EP featuring a handful of covers and an unreleased original track. The Sound of Silence EP, which was released on Friday digitally via their Italians do it Better label, features two versions of the band’s cover of “The Sound of Silence” (which is also featured on Closer to Grey), as well as a cover of Jackson C. Frank’s “I Want to Be Alone” and a new acoustic track called “Burning Bridges.” Hear the full EP in its entirety below.
