American indie/disco outfit Chromatics have dropped a mixtape of unreleased material...
Band chief Johnny Jewell this morning announced the release on his Soundcloud page of the mix-tape titled Running From the Sun. It follows on from the demands of fans on the road to hear more material from the sessions for this year's hit album Kill For Love.
This is what Jewell had to say about it:

"Jet lagged & buzzing from Friday's show in Paris, I couldn't sleep...so I stayed up all night with Oko talking about color based dreams while blending these tracks together. Since the album came out, a lot of people on the road have been telling us they are curious to hear some of the unreleased music from the Kill For Love sessions...Recorded November 2009 through December 2011, these songs were all mixed between 4 & 6 a.m. After hours of tracking at the studio in Montreal, we'd clear the channels on the mixer, open a bottle of wine, & feel around in the dark...working our way through the atmospheric elements & peeling back layers of rhythm...throwing the songs into the abstract pile & playing them while driving home in the snow. In Amsterdam right now trying to upload it from the hotel. Fingers crossed...
This is a lullaby for you...
Sweet Dreams!
