Chromeo - "Don't Turn The Lights On"
Stereogum’s got the premiere single from Chromeo’s upcoming album, Business Casual, and they’re giving it away.
It’s classic Chromeo, which is to say it’s classic Hall & Oates if Hall & Oates were classically obsessed with doing it constantly. The music is drenched in thick, bottom-heavy 80’s beats and soaring synth lines while the lyrics are playful, a little stupid (“Don’t turn the lights on because tonight I want to see you in the dark”) and catchy as fuck.
The album’s out on September 14. If this track’s any indication, it’ll be a must buy.
