Chroma have shared a new single, Don't Mind Me.
Driven by fuzzy, grunge-inspired guitars and powerhouse vocals, the alt-rock groove marks the Welsh trio's debut release for Alcopop! Records, with who they recently inked a deal. It also serves as the first taste of their forthcoming debut album, due out later in 2023, though further details are still to be revealed. Vocalist Katie Hall commented:
"Don't Mind Me is about my personal struggles with my mental health. When we started Chroma, writing lyrics quickly became one of my main outlets to process my feelings. The song is about recognising when you're in a spiral and trying to catch yourself. Also, I wanted the lyric 'Don't mind me I'm just having a breakdown' to help people who are feeling isolated feel like they're not alone. When I'm going through a rough patch, I always turn to music to make me feel better. I want people who are going through something, whatever it is, to listen to the song and feel seen."
The track arrives ahead of the band's appearances at SXSW in Texas, which include a slot on the Focus Wales showcase on March 16, and the Alcopop! Records showcase the following day. Ahead of their trip, they'll play a SXSW fundraiser gig at Cardiff's Clwb Ifor Bach on March 4.
