Listen: Chromatics - "Looking For Love" - 10.22.2012
Chromatics have already blessed us with an embarrassment of riches this year via the 80 minute stunner, Kill For Love. But that's not the last of the band's new music for us this year. Today, the group has released a new song titled "Looking For Love," which will appear on the next After Dark compilation, titled After Dark II. The new track, "Looking For Love," is a 17-minute song, but you can hear a 5-minute edit via this promo video, filmed at the recent Chromatics-soundtracked Chanel runway show in Paris.
