Brookly electronic artist Jeremy Malvin is the mind behind Chrome Sparks, and he follows last year’s popular self-titled release with a new EP, Be On Fire. Multiple influences charge the lush synth grooves of this latest work, especially with a lo-fi vibe owing a lot to ‘80s soul (relish the slightly obscure reference that is “In2 Your Love” an all-out tribute to composer George Smallwood), jazz, psych, and elements of contemporary and old school hip-hop.
Catch Chrome Sparks tonight at Empire Control Room, 606 E. 7th. Ambient synth-pop artist Teen Daze opens the show. Doors at 8 p.m.
