Tibi PuiuFor their latest single, the Portland synthpop duo Chromatics, have chosen to make a more darker and creepier video, then those with which they’ve accustomed us with; definitively much more creepier. The video in cause is for the haunting instrumental “Killing Spree,” off of the band’s last year effort “Night Drive”, in which director Johnny Jewel has done a remarkable job at capturing the song’s creepy, haunting vibe on the tube, YouTube actually (bad joke,…

There’s been a lot of hype, around the trip-hop veterans’ first album in ten years, during the past weeks, however their one of the few acts that actually deserve it.

Andrei Mihai

This all come a bit out of the sudden, at a Friday night SXSW party thrown away by triple-A bible Harp.

New Modest Mouse video: ‘Fly Trapped In A Jar’
Last year was a fantastic one for, Washington based band, Modest Mouse. They’ve released their fifth studio album “We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank”, the first one with former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr, with tremendous success, landing on top of the Billboard 200 chart and extensively touring the US with mates R.E.M./The National. With all these under their belt I think it’s safe to say the band deserve to have a bit of…
