Anomalie & Chromeo Team Up For Dazzling Electronic Track “On My Mind”; Share New EP

Two of Montreal’s best electronic artists have come together.

Beatmaker Anomalie has teamed up with the electronic dance group Chromeo for a dazzling 3-track EP Bend the Rules. Rich with jazz-insipired beats, lo-fi groove, and an insatiable flare, the new collaborative EP is a pleasant surprise.

“Working on Bend The Rules with Chromeo made me feel like I was finally reunited with my long lost cousins from Montreal,” says Anomalie. “The blend of Dave and Pee’s funkiness, stellar vocals and talkbox chops with my keyboard layers and arrangement approach is something I’m so happy and proud of. To release this feels not only exciting, but like it was meant to happen!”

Chromeo add their perspective on the colalboration: “We’ve been following Anomalie’s career for years and to us, he’s in the lineage of the great 80s Montreal jazz fusion bands we used to listen to growing up, like UZEB: unapologetically technical, but funky as hell. We love the way he built his career and cultivated his fanbase organically, without any help or hype. So we hit him up to come to Burbank, let him freak all our synths, followed his lead…and the Bend The Rules EP was born. We’re thrilled to release a project with an artist from our hometown on our very own label, Juliet.”

Right from the get-go, the match is a perfect one. Album opener and lead single “On My Mind” kicks things off with a glowing, EDM-funk dance beat, letting Anomalie’s detailed and layered production to flow across different genres – from dubstep to jazz, nothing is off limits. He even shows off his virtuosic piano skills on “Champ De Mars”, while Chromeo add some floating vocals and their signature flare of French house inspired rhythms. Padding out the record is the lead single “Bend the Rules”, fitting in perfectly with its jazz-filled melody and slow-burning bridge.
