Christian Marquis has released a new single titled "Beyond the Trees" from his band CHROM, just ahead of their upcoming album set for 2025. The track, characterized by the band’s signature electro/synthpop sound, comes after festival performances and features a visually striking video directed by Thomas Janssen. This single follows previous releases "Paralysed" and "Agony," marking the band’s first full-length offering since their reissue of Peak & Decay in 2020. CHROM is also scheduled to perform at several upcoming festivals.
Given CHROM’s evolving sound and thematic exploration in their latest work, what do you think distinguishes their approach within the electro/synthpop genre compared to their contemporaries?
