“Chrome is just finishing up our new album FEEL IT LIKE A SCIENTIST…As an artist I’ve tried to keep stretching the methods for creating music that Damon and I developed within the context of Chrome: spontaneity, scary/funny, heavy, weird, dark, Punk, Psychedelic, Rock, cut and paste, sound bites, bizerker effects, deconstruction, noise for noise sake, any kind of noise, no rules, Acidic… The Chrome approach is alive. We often all create unrehearsed on the spot, the same way that Damon and I worked…And sometimes I write out songs, like I did with Prophecy our single. I asked the band to all write lines in the lyrics. Damon and I both admired The White Album where the Beatles just freak out and do whatever they want. Later, I’ve read that they were inspired by John Cage during that period, same as Damon. Anyway, I was like ‘wow these guys are just doing what they want, no more baby I wanna hold your hand anymore’. Anyway FEEL IT LIKE A SCIENTIST has got it. Its got my veteran members Tommy Grenas on keys and Aleph Omega on drums. Both have been with me over 17 years, so they’ve been “Chromed” a long time. We have newer members working with us… performance artist… Anne Dromeda who sings and is great at composing and brings this conceptual energy to the mix much like Damon. Keith Thompson is this really talented young guitarist. Our newest member Steve Fishman has played with so many luminaries and I can understand why, because he’s just a great bass player. The album is coming out in April and its how I’ve always wanted Chrome to sound! Its what I always imagined Chrome could be post Damon, ya know. I’ve been able to take it to the next level.” —Helios Creed, Chrome, wickedspinsradio.org/wsr2012/chrome-wicked-spins-radio-interview/
