Cover art, which was 1st revealed on this Minneapolis Craigslist post. I'm (or my girlfriend is) not fully clear as to why the ad was posted in the Minneapolis Craigslist (as opposed to Toronto?); the album isn't even being released until 6 days after the show at First Avenue on May 6th. Perhaps it has something to do with the Chromeo guys appreciation for not only Prince but The Time?

This is a somewhat long-awaited 4th album from Canadian electronic-dance/soul duo Chromeo. I guess I know them mostly from my girlfriend's talk/exposing them to me over the last couple of years. Although, I can't forget the fact I saw their name on more than 1 occasion a few years ago, before I knew her.

I kind of hear groups like Kool and the Gang and some other 80's dance/pop synthy music in their sound. "Smooth" might be 1 of the most common adjectives to describe them.

And maybe 1 reason my gf talks about them is Mayer Hawthorne opened for them back in 2011, and she says it may have been the best show she's ever seen.

At any case, they have 2 singles out already, and this record is expected in early 2014 (I thought I saw 1 site that said March). I'll try and update this entry when the tracklist, artwork and release date comes soon.
