Chrome Sparks uses analogue synths, electronic bass drum kicks, reverbed guitar melodies and a pitch-shifted vocal to add a touch of melancholia to the sun-strafed pop of the original – akin to a long-lost subversive teen-ballad from a John Hughes meets Drive soundtrack. Both the original (produced by Ben Allen – Animal Collective, Gnarls Barkley, Bombay Bicycle Club) and the remix will be released this coming Autumn via Lucky Number (Darwin Deez, Friends, Caged Animals). 

Reptar are Graham Ulicny (Vocals, Guitar), William Kennedy (Keys), Ryan Engelberger (Bass) and Andrew McFarland (Drums) and have been likened to The Talking Heads, Animal Collective, Prince, and The Jackson 5.
