Chrome and Convenient Transportation




I've been sitting on this track for a while, throwing it into recommendations every now and then, not wanting to publish something which gives the impression of being homesick (again) or let you in on a badly kept secret, but despite being blogged about by I Guess I'm Floating and having released 7 EPs, Chromatic Flights could be making more airwaves.

I am a great sucker for badly-exposed, intentionally sun-ruined basic film photography, and the use of this technique on top of beachy landscapes and hot babez is a great reflection of the breezy beats escaping from Kyle's brain.

You can get some old EPs from Monotonik but for now, listen to a sweet sweet heartwarming anthem while you dodge the sunshowers.

I Just Want To Change Your Mind



I'll be severely disappointed if you have not yet let this EP carry your abstract conciousness into a continent where waves are made of clouds and situation comedies are watching branches break off from trees.

While the opening track brings worry that this EP can serve no purpose aside from lying in bed feeling experimental, it quickly arrives at hiding-behind-the-curtain pop music, releasing endorphins of a craving to sing along.
The EP flows smoothly, each track exploring a new field while tracking its path with breadcrumbs. You're hit with memories, but of what? Summer? Adolescence? The credited Richard P. Alexander's solo set at Campus A Low Hum on the morning of day 1? Something that's of yet undiscovered as a token good-sound metaphor? And with each repeat the nostalgia begins to paradoxically become a memory of itself.
They're only two guys from Wellington, but they can evoke some damn good feelings from their tunes.
