Artist Interviews Chrome Sparks

Jeremy Malvin comes from many different places, but the synthesizer fanatic is most at home when he's making music as Chrome Sparks. Dylan Peterson talked with Malvin before his sold out show at East Room about being influenced by "Marijuana," his embarrassing underage DJ set for a Lollapalooza competition at Double Door, and "getting in those feelings" for the sake of the music.
