CHERRY

Beautiful new single from Chromatics, taken from the Italians Do It Better label compilation 'After Dark 2'.
Chromatics' 'Kill For Love' album has been one of my favourite albums of 2012, and the aesthetics we heard in the album are very much present in this track as well.
Yes, it's dark and gloomy, but a in such an outstanding way.
Download the single below, and check a previous single from the compilation, by label mates Desire below as well. You can download the first After Dark compilation here, and check Johnny Jewel's soundcloud for more Italians Do It Better tracks/mixes/etc.

Chromatics - Cherry

1. Did you get the most disappointing Christmas gifts ever this year?
2. Did you, on the contrary, get the most amazing Christmas gifts?
3. Or, do you not celebrate Christmas?

In any of these three cases above, this edit below is all you need, because
a. this might make up for the disappointment,
b. if you already got whatever you wanted, I bet you still needed this edit to make your Christmas absolute perfection, or
c. in case there was no Christmas party: poor you, have an edit.
Mike Simonetti was thoughtful enough to give away this edit of The Stories' Brother Louie. It was released on the first Perseo compilation that you can still buy here - on vinyl as well as cd, whatever you like best.
