Dear Tommy is the Chromatics album that was due so long ago . Originally announced in December 2014, it has been delayed by Johnny Jewel and the Italians Do It Better crew for reasons unknown.
We had some unreleased songs, some once-off singles and the Lost River soundtrack
Last night, a video for the title track appeared and there’s a dark horror ambient electronic soundtrack vibe to the song.
