They are P-Thugg (Patrick Gemayel) on keyboards, synthesizers and talk box, and Dave 1 (David Macklovitch) on guitar and lead vocals. The two were best friends since childhood and officially formed the band in 2002. They describe themselves as the only successful Arab/Jewish collaboration since the beginning of time.

David Macklovitch is currently earning his Ph.D in French literature from Columbia University, where he also teaches undergraduate French classes.

Highlights of their 2004 debut album She's In Control include club tracks Needy Girl, Mercury Tears, Rage!, and Destination: Overdrive. In 2005, Chromeo released a mix CD of funky dance tracks on Eskimo Belgium records entitled Un Joli Mix Pour Toi (A Pretty Mix For You). During early 2007 Chromeo supported indie rock group Bloc Party on their British tour.

Their second album "Fancy Footwork", produced by Chromeo themselves with the help of Tiga and mixed by Philippe Zdar from Cassius, was released on June 26th, 2007.

The album took them on a two-year world tour performing in festivals such as Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds in the UK, Fujirock in Japan, Iceland Airwaves in Iceland, Pemberton Music Festival in Canada and Coachella, Bonnaroo, Rothbury Festival and Lollapalooza in the US.

Chromeo contributed to K7's mixed series titled DJ-Kicks: Chromeo. In summer 2010 the track ' Fancy Footwork' was used as the sound track for a VO5 Extreme Hair Gel advertisement in the UK. The YouTube video of the original release in 2008 had over 666,000 hits by late July 2010.

Chromeo released their third studio album entitled "Business Casual" on September 14, 2010.

Their song " Don't Turn The Lights On" is featured on the video game FIFA 11 exposing them to a new group of listeners. In 2011 the same song was also featured on the video game Dirt3. Their song Bonified Lovin (Yuksek remix) is also on the video game FIFA 09.

At the beginning of March 2011, Chromeo sent out notice that it had recorded the "world's smallest album," entitled Drive Time, which consists of 55 songs in only 183 seconds. About a week later, it was revealed that Drive Time is actually a free musical Nokia Own Voice satellite navigation pack for Ovi Maps, made for usage with Nokia's compatible cell phones. A red vinyl 5" single consisting of regular, instrumental and a cappella versions of "Turn Left" and "Follow" was released to promote it, with a sticker on the shrink wrap saying that it was a numbered limited edition of 40 copies.

Trivia:
Guitarist and lead singer David Macklovitch is the older brother of A-Trak (Alain Macklovitch), who in 1997 was the youngest-ever winner of the DMC World DJ Championship and is currently Kanye West's tour DJ.

Macklovitch is currently earning his Ph.D in French Literature from Columbia University.

Chromeo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

An electrifying moment
A blast of lightning through the storm
Should have seen it as an omen
But I chose to carry on

This is what those tales are made of
It was rather true to form
A boy sees girl then his knees just drop
Heartbeat stops

I care for you
And I'll switch the word up if you want me to
I care for you
But caring is so see-through
The sequel is a thing we call love

I can't leave you alone
It's rattling my bones
I can feel it
It's just the start and this is something good

I can't leave you alone
It's rattling my bones
I can feel it
It's just the start and this is something good

Something good, something good, something good, this is something good
Something good, something good, something good, this is something good
Something good, something good, something good, this is something good
Something good, something good, something good, this is something good

I can never lie
I'm sweating but my hands are dry
Say the word and I'm the first one running
I'm the first one running

And every little move you make is no mistake
So don't just take me for a pretender
I'm a contender

I care for you
And I'll switch the word up if you want me to
I care for you
But caring is so see-through
The sequel is a thing we call love

I can't leave you alone
It's rattling my bones
I can feel it
It's just the start and this is something good

I can't leave you alone
It's rattling my bones
I can feel it
It's just the start and this is something good

Something good, something good, something good, this is something good
Something good, something good, something good, this is something good
Something good, something good, something good, this is something good
Something good, something good, something good, this is something good

I can't leave you alone
It's rattling my bones
I can feel it
I can feel it
I can feel it
(It's just the start and this is something good)

I can't leave you alone
It's rattling my bones
I can feel it
I can feel it
I can feel it
(It's just the start and this is something good)

Stop it right there
Stop it right there
Oh, stop it right there
Stop it right there

You think love is a thing of the past
I never felt so real
I want something that's gonna last
I never felt those chills

You think love is a thing of the past
I never felt so real
I want something that's gonna last
I never felt those chills

You think that love is just a thing of the past
I want someone that's gonna make it last
You think that love is just a thing of the past
I want someone that's gonna make it last

Stop it right there
Stop it right there

Stop it right there
Stop it right there

Line by Line Meaning

An electrifying moment
A moment so intense and exciting that it feels like a sudden shock of lightning during a storm


A blast of lightning through the storm
A sudden, powerful burst of emotion amidst a turbulent time


Should have seen it as an omen
It was a sign that something significant was about to happen


But I chose to carry on
Despite the warning sign, I decided to keep going


This is what those tales are made of
This is the classic, archetypal story of boy meets girl


It was rather true to form
It followed a predictable pattern, as many love stories do


A boy sees girl then his knees just drop
The boy is overwhelmed and smitten as soon as he sees the girl


Heartbeat stops
His heart skips a beat, a common reaction to intense attraction


I care for you
I have feelings for you


And I'll switch the word up if you want me to
I'm willing to change my language to make you more comfortable


But caring is so see-through
Expressing care can be transparent or unconvincing


The sequel is a thing we call love
Our story will continue and develop into a romantic relationship


I can't leave you alone
I can't resist being near you


It's rattling my bones
My desire for you is so strong that it's shaking me to my core


I can feel it
The emotion and attraction are tangible and undeniable


It's just the start and this is something good
This is just the beginning of our relationship, and it has the potential to be something great


I can never lie
I will always be honest with you


I'm sweating but my hands are dry
I'm nervous but trying to keep my cool


Say the word and I'm the first one running
If you need me, I'll be there immediately


I'm a contender
I'm someone you can take seriously as a romantic partner


And every little move you make is no mistake
I'm paying attention to everything you do and it only confirms my feelings for you


So don't just take me for a pretender
Don't dismiss me as insincere or superficial


Stop it right there
Pause this moment and appreciate its significance


You think love is a thing of the past
You may be jaded or pessimistic about the possibility of love


I never felt so real
I've never experienced emotions this intensely before


I want something that's gonna last
I'm looking for a relationship that will endure and be meaningful


I never felt those chills
I've never had such a visceral and thrilling reaction to someone before
