User Reviews:
restless, Dec 05, 2007

Unreleased for about a year (only appearing in CD-R demos given away at concerts or on free downloads in typical Chromatics fashion) and now finally officially available, "In The City" is undoubtely one of the poisonous masterpieces of 2007 in a bizarre Gina X meets Nico kind of vibe.
Imagine slowed-down, dark, narcotic, vintage sounding italo-disco meets late 70s sleazy new-wave with sublimely sensual, desperate and menacing melody, sung by an anemic yet languorous girl voice straight out of a David Lynch reverie.
A timeless song filled with melancholic abandon and panache, to haunt your night drives forever.
