Dear Tommy is the upcoming fifth studio album by Chromatics, scheduled for release in 2018.[1][2][3]

Dear Tommy was said to be completed[4] and Chromatics announced the LP in December 2014.[2] The single "Shadow" was released in 2015, including physical copies on vinyl, ahead of the album.[5] By 2015 Chromatics had also shared the tracks "In Films",[6] "Just Like You"[7] and "I Can Never Be Myself Around You" on the Internet.[6] However, it was reported in 2017 that Johnny Jewel had destroyed all physical copies of the album in January 2016[8]—15,000 CDs and 10,000 vinyl copies—following a near-death experience whilst swimming in 2015[1][2][3][4][9] and his subsequent desire to improve the songs before release.[1] Those songs already made available from the first version of the record were eventually removed from Internet sources.[2][3] It is believed that the album was then re-recorded,[2][3] including previously released songs, and will be released with a changed tracklist from that originally announced.[10]
