CMU Approved
Approved: Chairlift
By Aly Barchi | Published on Tuesday 19 July 2011
Colorado trio Chairlift are attempting to clear our memories of their iPod commercial-soundtracking song ‘Bruises’ with brand new track ‘Amananaemonesia’, which will appear on the band’s TBA new LP ‘Cool As Fire’.
Coming from the same alt-synth school as bands like MGMT, Chairlift’s penchant for left-field electro music takes the fore in this sugary rush of eighties-inspired melody, which is rendered all the sweeter by classically-trained singer Caroline Polachek’s airy vocals and beatific octave-spans. Stream ‘Amananaemonesia’ below, and don’t forget, it’s out as a single on 16 Aug via of-the-moment indie label Terrible Records.
In the absence of anything more free or exclusive to offer you, look below for a clip of the Chairlift gang larking about as they skim through a live play of oddball in-French track ‘Flying Saucer Hat’. Tres amusant.
