Tyler, the Creator, who teased new music on social media yesterday, has announced his new album, “Chromakopia,” will be released on Oct. 28 — a Monday, breaking with the music-industry standard Friday release date. It starts with a masked character, apparently Tyler, leading a series of masked people marching through the desert — his hair is in a comical, rabbit-ish do but the black and white video and the song’s whispered, almost unintelligible rapping and music — which ranges from chanted vocals to a warped chorus — have an ominous vibe. Sure enough, the people all march into a long container with the word “Chromakopia” painted onto it — then the video turns to color and a hand is seen setting off a detonator and the container is destroyed in a massive explosion, with all the people inside.
