Chrome Studio album by Catherine Wheel Released July 20, 1993. Chrome, produced by former Pixies producer GilNorton, has a more metallic musical edge ( hence the title ) than the band ' s previous album Ferment and EPs. Peaking at number 26 on the Billboard TopHeatseekers chart, the album was supported by the single " Crank ", a 5 Modern Rock Tracks hit.

It's not like Catherine Wheel established their sound with Chrome, either. Ferment was considered their supposed magnum opus, with the extremely successful lead-single "Black Metallic". Chrome is more appropriately described as a perfection of their established sound, as the band's metallic shoegaze is refined in terms of both intensity and melodic-content. Every element that made Ferment so memorable and enjoyable is amplified in this release. There are quite a few album covers out there that flawlessly encapsulate the atmosphere and/or mood of the music contained. Chrome has one of those covers. It's design came from the collective Hipgnosis, who gained international prestige for the cover of Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd. Sit back, listen and experience this album. You might feel emotions you didn't even know you had. 180 gram audiophile vinyl.

Can't you accept this flower hasn't grown? Kick away the petals and come home This is all she said But there's something in me cold within me A beast inside me, bold inside me. I find myself in chains I find myself in chains. But if I had some time I'd use it this time Fix myself I will, I hope it's this time And if I could only see the subtle things you see I'd think myself so brave in victory

There are quite a few album covers out there that flawlessly encapsulate the atmosphere and/or mood of the music contained. Chrome has one of said covers. The darkened underwater environment, coupled with three swimmers posing together in some abstract formation, along with the small sliver of what seems to be a neighborhood or apartment complex cresting the very top of the image. This album certainly has a distinct atmosphere, and this cover is a fine representation of the sound that the band so expertly masters, mixing dream-like euphoria with darkened paranoia, all with a heavily distorted.
