CHROMA 010

CHROMA 010 represents a pivotal entry in Bicep's CHROMA series, a project designed to showcase a more experimental and club-focused side of their production compared to their studio albums. Released in June 2025, this 9-track EP leans heavily into the 'CHROMA' ethos of color-coded sonic exploration. Sonically, it moves away from the 'sad-dance' anthems of their self-titled debut and 'Isles,' opting instead for a palette of metallic textures, acid-tinged bass, and complex polyrhythms. The recording reflects a sophisticated use of hybrid analog-digital setups, emphasizing clarity and spatial depth. Critically, the EP has been noted for its departure from traditional song structures in favor of evolving soundscapes that bridge the gap between IDM and peak-time techno. It serves as a bridge between their massive festival presence and their roots in underground DJ culture, offering a darker, more cerebral experience than their previous radio-friendly hits.
