Italians Do It Better’s Johnny Jewel continues to offer for free download unreleased tracks from his extensive vaults, including this gritty and dirty 12″ version of Chromatics’ “Hands In The Dark”, originally appeared on the first “After Dark” compilation in 2007. “This is similar to the version we were playing on stage in Europe last year,” he says. Grab it for free below, and keep your eyes peeled for more magic from Portland synth-pop outfit with a new full-length album, “Dear Tommy”, which will arrive “in time for Valentine’s Day.” Bring it on.
