Chromatics is an American
band from , formed in 2001. The band consists of
(vocals, guitar, synthesizer), Adam Miller (guitar, vocoder), Nat Walker (drums, synthesizer), and
(producer, multi-instrumentalist). The band originally featured a trademark sound indebted to
that was described as "noisy" and "chaotic". After numerous lineup changes, which left
Adam Miller as the sole original member, the band began releasing material on the
record label in 2007, with their style streamlined into an -influenced sound.
Their third album
(2007) was met with critical acclaim, as was their fourth album, , which was released on March 26, 2012. Several of the band's songs have been featured in television series such as , , , , , , , and , and their track "Tick of the Clock" was featured in the films
(2011) and
(2012). In December 2014, the band announced their fifth studio album, titled Dear Tommy. While Chromatics have released a number of singles, Dear Tommy has yet to be released as of May 2018.
Chromatics' first 7-inch, "Beach of Infants/Steps", was a solo project of Adam Miller. It was released by Hand Held Heart. Miller has been Chromatics' sole consistent member. "Beach of Infants/Steps" was recorded in Seattle, Washington, on a Tascam 4-track. By the time the 7-inch was released, Chromatics had scaled up to a four-piece.
Miller also played in , a group that garnered media attention around Seattle. The Vogue were barely out of high school and created art punk that drew comparisons to . This band featured Johnny Whitney of
on vocals and
who went on to play drums in . After The Vogue's keyboardist departed, the remaining members formed , and released one 7-inch and one album. Although Chromatics began as a solo project for Adam Miller, he quickly added most of The Soiled Doves' lineup. Adam Miller became the vocalist. Devin Welch played . Michelle Nolan, a new addition, played
Blilie played . After releasing their debut album
in 2003 on , all members except Miller left to form .
Miller and a revamped lineup released the band's second studio album, , in 2004 on Gold Standard Laboratories. This lineup featured Adam Miller performing double duty on guitar and vocals, with Nat Sahlstrom on bass and the Get Hustle's Ron Avila on percussion. The lineup changed once again, as Miller played many of the same songs from the
era with Lena Okazaki replacing Sahlstrom on bass and a drum machine replacing the free jazz-influenced percussive style of Avila. This lineup of Miller and Okazaki released a few CD-Rs, still in the lo-fi art punk style that had been established, but the addition of the drum machine hinted at the major stylistic shift to come.
While Miller's CD-Rs with Okazaki hinted at an electronic direction, Okazaki left the band and Chromatics went through their largest reinvention around 2005, becoming the quartet of Miller, Ruth Radelet, Johnny Jewel, and Nat Walker. This resulted in a gradual but dramatic shift in the band's sound and live performance. Chromatics have often toured the world with labelmates , since Jewel plays in both bands, as well as , a side project of Jewel and Walker. Walker and Jewel also have an instrumental project called .
Chromatics' third studio album, , was released in 2007 on , the band's most acclaimed release. On Night Drive, the group ditched their "hairy noise-rock troupe" aesthetic in favor of a "neatly groomed
quartet". In their review of the album,
noted that "the transformation of Chromatics has been so effortless that it's still easy to be wowed by the results", adding that "listeners who are only familiar with the band's forays into shambling
will certainly be surprised by Night Drive's assured songwriting".
Various songs from Night Drive have been licensed for usage in multiple Hollywood films, television shows, international television and internet advertisements, and runway shows.
Other releases have included the Nite and In Shining Violence EPs. In 2007, Chromatics' non-album tracks "In the City" and "Hands in the Dark", as well as a demo of Night Drive's "The Killing Spree", were featured on the Italians Do It Better compilation album .

mentioned, "Maybe Kill for Love will inaugurate a sea change where artists come to terms with themselves and start being open about how they sound when they sing. In basement studios everywhere, young vocalists will blink three times and start x-ing out effects in , look at the mirror for the first time in weeks, deep into their beady, sun-deprived eyes and whisper, "God, there are no shortcuts... Kill for Love continues the band's penchant for popular-sound defiance that made Chromatics so exciting in the first place."
