Listen: Chromatics Rework “The River” for New Song, “Headlight’s Glare”

Dear Tommy Due Out Someday

May 09, 2016 Chromatics By Christopher Roberts

Johnny Jewel and his band Chromatics have reworked “The River,” a track from their acclaimed Kill For Love 2012 album, and turned it into a new song, “Headlight’s Glare.” It will appear on a new 12-inch, Cherry, due out May 16 via Italians Do It Better. There will also be 12-inches of three 2015-released Chromatics tracks: “Shadow,” “Just Like You,” and their cover of Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun,” plus a reissue of In the City, from 2010. Listen to the new song below, followed by the original.

Chromatics have long been expected to release a new full-length album entitled Dear Tommy. It was due out last year, but that never happened. Hopefully it’ll come out someday.
