The new Chromatics album, Kill for Love, was just released on iTunes, but according to my email history, I've been bugging their label about it since July 27th of 2011. I guess I must have had a dream about it way back then or something, and that's why I thought it was coming out. I had faith that I'd hear it one day, maybe even before it was put up on the Internet. I learned the hard way that sometimes our dreams don't come true. Here's an in-depth expose on one Music Editor's struggle to write about a band she really likes. It's filled with mystery, intrigue, and several interesting twists and turns.On 27-JUL-11, at 1:52PM, reviews@vice.com wrote:HEY PUBLICIST/LABEL PERSON!Just checking in on Chromatics updates.
