Johnny Jewel, Adam Miller and Ruth Radelet collectively known as Chromatics released their fourth full length album this month, appropriately titled ‘IV’. The band has under gone many changes since their inception in 2002, but the current lo-fi electronic manifestation is by far our favorite. Johnny Jewel of Glass Candy never ceases to amaze us with his superb production skills and Ruth’s tender voice wafts beautifully over the score.

This is the third recorded version of ‘Healer’ (that I know of).

jesus.. that Running Up That Hill is so nice.. thanks for this boys.
Hmm, I like her vocals better on Healer. Not enough conviction on ‘Hill. Although, I love the strings and production work on the remake.
Hey Julian, i’m torn on Healer. I liked the ‘vanity vocal’ version , but I like this one too. can’t decide!
there they go again making Portland proud. the new material sounds great, can’t wait for another show.
