NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Jan 6, 2014) - Almost a decade ago, the Canadian duo Chromeo introduced their unique blend of electrofunk to an exponentially growing global audience. White Women, Dave 1 and P-Thugg's 4th studio album coming this spring on Atlantic, refines their signature 70's and 80's influenced quirky pop songs, masterfully crafted in the tradition of the finest R&B, disco and funk. Montreal's reigning loverboys will be previewing their infectiously catchy new record, featuring previously released singles "Over Your Shoulder" and "Sexy Socialite," on the road this spring, along with playing some Chromeo classics from Business Casual, Fancy Footwork and She's In Control. The "Come Alive Tour" launches in Houston, TX in April and winds its way through the US and Canada, with a headlining finale US show at NYC's Terminal 5 in May -- scroll down for full list of dates. Chromeo's live show has become legendary in its own right and this tour will mark just the first stop in many exciting live announcements to come for the band in 2014!
For all the retro talk, Chromeo's music is, more than ever, anchored in pop's present. This is reflected in the band's collaborative approach on White Women. They unexpectedly resurrected Death From Above 1979 as their backing band to perform "Sexy Socialite" on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, they shot an epic album trailer with Parisian design firm Surface to Air to preview "Over Your Shoulder" and partnered with contemporary artists Snarkitecture, MILK Studios & Tumblr to create The White Room installation in New York. The newest edition (pun intended) in an ever growing and exciting list of collaborators is Toro y Moi, featured on their buoyant new single, "Come Alive." "Toro is a new school funk disciple, like us," says the band. "Ever since we heard his music we wanted to unleash his inner Jermaine Stewart." This is disco Chaz in a way you've never heard him before -- link below.
