New in the KUCI Music Library May 15, 2012 by: Paul McEldowney Chromatics - Kill For Love – (Italians Do It Better) Ultra-violent, sadistic, and decadent Caligulatic everyday=youth blissed out and perfected synth-pop that is 'banned in over seven countries worldwide', documenting what attracts an audience to the aesthetics of 'coolness' as inherently dangerous, weighty, nondescript, and minimal.
