The Chromatics broke up in 2021, and it was pretty clear from the statement at the time that the band split wasn’t exactly amicable.
“After a long period of reflection, the three of us have made the difficult decision to end Chromatics,” they said at the time.
Those three being Ruth Radelet, Nat Walker and Adam Miller, who without Italian Do It Better producer and label boss have now reconvened for at least one song called ‘The Veil’, which features in the video game Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, “a key element of the game and the friendship between Swann, Autumn, Nora, and Kat.”
The Super 8 music vide was shot entirely on vintage analog equipment including Kodak Super 8 cameras, Canon 518 SV, and Sony Handycam CCD-TR96 and was directed by Jake Bottiglieri with cinematography by Rayana Rasamee.
“We wanted to create something that captured both the nostalgic 90s aesthetic of the game’s flashback sequences and the ethereal, dreamlike quality that fans associate with our music,” says Nat Walker, who also served as editor and colorist for the video.
It’s the trio’s first collab since the dissolution of the Chromatics.
The Lost Records: Bloom & Rage soundtrack features 19 original songs spanning dream pop, ambient, and punk genres, produced by three female-led musical acts:
Ruth Radelet, Nat Walker, and Adam Miller
Milk & Bone (electropop Canadian duo)
Nora Kelly Band (rising Canadian punk act)
It’s out April 15, 2025.
