Chromatics is an American
electronic music band from
Portland, Oregon that formed in 2001. The band consists of
Ruth Radelet (vocals, guitar, synthesizer), Adam Miller (guitar, vocoder), Nat Walker (drums, synthesizer), and
Johnny Jewel (producer, multi-instrumentalist). The band originally featured a trademark sound indebted to
punk and
lo-fi that was described as "noisy" and "chaotic". After numerous lineup changes, which left
guitarist Adam Miller as the sole original member, the band began releasing material on the
Italians Do It Better record label in 2007, with their style streamlined into a
electropunk-
Italo disco indebted sound.
