On October 16, 2024, Tyler posted a teaser on Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter titled "St. Chroma", expected to be the first song of the record, due to the caption, "1. st chroma" on Instagram.[5] The teaser video is initially monochromatic, as Tyler directs people into a shipping container. He then blows up the container with a detonator, adding color to the video. At the end of the video, the album's name, Chromakopia, is revealed. A day later, on October 17, Tyler revealed the cover art for the album and its scheduled release date of October 28, which falls on a Monday.[3] In a 2023 interview with Nardwuar, Tyler expressed criticism of the current trend of releasing music on Fridays, suggesting that it encourages "passive listening." He remarked, "I think it's a lot of passive listening [on the weekend]. If you put it out during the week... you really have that time to ‘dive in’ and really listen."[6]
On October 21, he released the lead single for Chromakopia, "Noid", alongside a music video. It was teased that it would be the third song in the track order.[5]
On October 22, Tyler released a limited-edition vinyl sale announcement video titled "Chromakopia Vinyl", which also teases three songs expected to appear on the record.[1] On October 23, Tyler released a tour announcement video titled "Chromakopia Tour". It showed at the end he would be touring alongside Lil Yachty and Paris Texas.[7] A few hours later around 8:30 PM, Tyler announced the time the album would be releasing, 6 AM EST.[8]
On October 26, he released a music video for "Thought I Was Dead", which was teased to be the 11th track on Chromakopia.[9]
The album is speculated to be based on the story of Chroma the Great from the novel The Phantom Tollbooth, a powerful conductor whose orchestra creates the colors of the world.[10]
Marketing for Chromakopia has been spotted around the state of Texas as two large Kenworth W900L green trucks with green shipping containers on the back with the Chromakopia logo, identical to the shipping container featured in the "St. Chroma" music video. The trucks are known as the "Chromakopia Trucking Company".[11] The trucks starting point was in the city of Tyler, Texas, parked near the Tyler Public Library.[12] The two trucks then departed the location, and drove in opposite directions, one truck going towards Houston and one truck going towards Dallas. In location, the Houston truck has been spotted parked near the Eclectic Menagerie Park[13] and the Dallas truck has been spotted near the intersection between San Jacinto and Leonard.[14] The Chromakopia website, at the time of writing, has shown that the westbound truck's next location will be Los Angeles, California and the eastbound truck's next location will be Columbus, Ohio.[11] The trucks have also been vandalized, likely from fans that have spotted the vehicles.[15]
Tyler, The Creator has announced a world tour in support of the album. Promoted by AEG Presents, the tour will feature special guests Lil Yachty and Paris Texas, with 39 dates across North America, including the U.S. and Canada, 18 dates in Europe and the UK, and 7 shows scheduled in Oceania, covering Australia and New Zealand. The tour will take place throughout 2025.[7]
All tracks are written, produced, and arranged by Tyler Okonma, with additional writers noted.
