Chromatics - Black Walls

Legend has it Johnny Jewel destroyed all copies of the eagerly-awaited "Dear Tommy" album years ago and fans had all but given up hope of ever hearing the near-mythical LP. But now, out the disco-blue, there's a new track called "Black Walls" with a new video that ends with the words "Dear Tommy" projected across said walls. Could it be that Johnny has finally seen the light through the shades permanently grafted unto his face? In any case, "Black Walls" is everything fans love about the Chromatics' sound: the slow, eerie vibes, the haunting angelic voice, the slow guitar-plucking and murky lyrics over an impeccably produced Italo Disco beat: it's all there to soundtrack the next 5 minutes of your life.
