16 Track Deluxe Double LP on Magenta coloured wax finally available, includes downloiad code redeemable from the label* At long last available for public consumption - Johnny Jewel and co make their loooong overdue return with a gorgeous new album. It's now five years since 'Night Drive' triggered an avalanche of copy-cats and even a film - Nicolas Winding Refn's 'Drive' - and although we were all blessed with Johnny Jewel's sumptuous 'Symmetry, Themes for an Imaginary Film' earlier this year, the Chromatics proper have been noticeably absent save for 2010's fan-appeasing 'In The City' EP. So yeah, it's great to have 'em back. 'Kill For Love' was worth the wait, greeting us with 16 songs pushing Ruth Radelet and Adam Miller's vocals front and centre over slipperiest synths and purposeful arpeggios gleaming with a lustful, cinematic electro-noir backdrop painstakingly assembled by Johnny Jewel. The whole thing just oozes class and confidence, from the opening cover of Neil Young's Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black)' to the teasing synth flutters of 'Lady', via visionary instrumental interludes to 'The River''s heartbreaking sentiment, some seventy minutes later, leaving any witnesses rapt and deeply gratified. For sure, it's not to be missed.(BOOMKAT)
