Just before he started studying percussion at University of Michigan, Jeremy bought a pair of Technics 1200s on craigslist. Once in school, he lied and told people he could DJ, and after a few months of spinning house party after house party, that became true. The next summer, he was one of the finalists in the Lollapalooza DJ competition (as Professor Purple), which inspired him to take his DJing more seriously. During his second year at U of M, he started a weekly house music night at a local club, which grew to bring in artists such as Rusko, Avicii, Wolfgang Gartner, Martin Solveig, and Laidback Luke. Once touring opportunities in bands started to interfere with his percussion studies, he left school and toured extensively as the drummer for Stepdad, while also playing tours in Miniature Tigers and Rich Aucoin.
Chrome Sparks' music first garnered attention online at the end of 2010 with his bandcamp-released single, "I'll Be Wait For Sadness Comes Along". The next summer, he released the EP "My <3", which enlisted the help of Los Angeles based vocalist, Steffaloo on a couple of the tracks. Since then, Jeremy has released a few singles including some with Steffaloo.
Now that Malvin has relocated to Brooklyn, he plans on assembling a group to bring his music to life as a live realization. He is also planning on releasing another EP in the not too distant future.

This Revenge Is Calm
Chrome Sparks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Into the darkness
of your thoughts
Hurry up now
we're waiting for
us to fall
I fall to pieces now (I fall to pieces now)
a broken mirror (I fall to pieces)
Silence in black & white
falling forward as she
walks toward the light
RIGHT NOW
I'm outside of your window
with my radio
I sleep with
one eye open so
I can
see you breathing (I sleep with one eye open)
I follow
your chest bone
Until I, (So I can see you breathing)
I can see you
I can hear you
Breathe in.
exhale
Silence in black & white
(Casey Calvert)
I'm outside of your window, with my radio
you are the only station
you play the song I know
you are the song I know
The lyrics to Chrome Sparks's song "This Revenge Is Calm" are open to interpretation. However, the words suggest that the singer is in love with someone and is stalking them. The first verse expresses the longing to be with the person they desire, suggesting that they are waiting for them to fall into their arms. The line "I fall to pieces now, a broken mirror in your life," suggests that the person he is in love with has a troubled life, and he wants to be there for them.
The second verse suggests that the singer is actually outside the person's window while they sleep, watching them. They are so obsessed with this person that they can't sleep properly and must watch them to make sure they are okay. The line "I'm outside of your window with my radio" suggests that the singer is playing a song they know the person they love loves, perhaps in an attempt to connect with them.
Overall, the lyrics of the song explore some pretty creepy themes, such as obsession and stalking, and present them in an almost romantic light. It's as if the singer is willing to go to any lengths to be with the person they desire.
Line by Line Meaning
Let's go down now
Let's explore the depths of your mind
Into the darkness
Into the unknown, deep and hidden areas of your mind
of your thoughts
of your innermost feelings and emotions
Hurry up now
Let's not waste any time
we're waiting for
we are anticipating the feelings that will come from exploring your mind
us to fall
for the moment where we let go of our inhibitions and embrace the unknown
I fall to pieces now (I fall to pieces now)
I succumb to my deepest fears and insecurities, crumbling under my own pressure
a broken mirror (I fall to pieces)
revealing the shattered fragments of my own self-image
in your life
a reflection of the damage I am causing in your world
Silence in black & white
The stillness and clarity of the moment is peaceful and meaningful
falling forward as she
moving ahead gracefully and confidently, despite any obstacles and setbacks
walks toward the light
stepping towards enlightenment or understanding
RIGHT NOW
in this very moment, everything is unfolding exactly as it should
I'm outside of your window
figuratively or literally observing and watching you
with my radio
listening closely, paying attention to even the smallest details
I sleep with
even in my sleep and unconscious state
one eye open so
I am always aware and vigilant
I can see you breathing (I sleep with one eye open)
I am constantly attuned to your presence and well-being
I follow
tracking your movements and actions
your chest bone
paying close attention to your physical and emotional state
Until I, (So I can see you breathing)
staying attuned and mindful of your presence until the end
I can see you
acknowledging the reality of your presence
I can hear you
attuned to your voice and any sounds you make
Breathe in.
Be fully present in this moment, taking in everything around you
exhale
Release any tension or negativity, and be at peace
(Casey Calvert)
Dedicated to the memory of Casey Calvert, who passed away in 2007 and inspired this song
you are the only station
You are my sole focus and point of interest
you play the song I know
You are familiar and comforting to me
you are the song I know
You are the embodiment of everything I am familiar with and comfortable around
