String leads, driving bass melodies, guitar lines and drum programming make ‘In The City’ an intricate and dreamy listen. The first track instantly pulls the auditor into a deep psychedelia, tranquil and, in a hidden way, ambiguous and scary. “Shining violence, shining victim / in the headlights, shining pistol / shimmer diamonds from a necklace / faceless driver, drive away / in the city…” Chromatics, unlike most other bands attempting aforementioned atmosphere, hone this style perfectly on this EP. In the ballad-esque Springsteen cover, “I’m On Fire”, Chromatics furthers this idea with an extremely calm sound and pedophiliac lyrics. The music, though somewhat simple, is very catchy and has well-developed synth hooks. This is displayed mainly on “Lady”, a song with robotic auto-tuning and melodic keyboard leads (this song would be recorded later in a more accessible fashion on ‘Kill For Love’, but I think that the original is much better than this one.) “Tears of Pain” possesses these qualities as well in a synthesized, orchestrated means. Clearly, Chromatics was a band who was very passionate about their music and exceedingly skilled.
