Ivan The Tolerable returns with Chromophobia, an expansive new double album arriving February 6th, 2026 on Riot Season (2LP/DL). The first single, “Wild Blue Yonder,” is available now on all streaming platforms, offering the first glimpse into the project’s long-form evolution.

Chromophobia carries with it a deep personal history. The earliest recording sessions date back to 2018 at the IDI in Middlesbrough, engineered by longtime collaborator Nigel Crooks over the course of three weekends. The material was left unfinished for years, shelved for reasons that accumulated and compounded—until the tragic passing of Crooks in 2023. His unfinished work lingered, and the desire to complete it became a mission.

“In the end, I finished this record for Nigel, above all else,” says Oli Heffernan (Ivan The Tolerable). “It always annoyed him that it never got done.”

To bring the album to completion, the original stems were passed to producer Hugh Major (formerly of Benefits) in early 2024. Across a year of meticulous experimentation—countless versions, radical reconstructions, entire songs torn down and rebuilt—the album transformed into something wholly new. The final collection spans 14 tracks, reimagined from the ground up yet still anchored to the spirit of the sessions that began it.

“It’s a very different beast from where it started,” Heffernan adds, “but I think Nigel would really like it—and be glad it was finally finished.”

Chromophobia stands as both a reinvention and a tribute: a document of persistence, creative overhaul, and the enduring impact of a lost collaborator.
