After a busy weekend at After the Jump Fest, we’re back to the real world. In this version of the real world, Chairlift (who were recently ranked the #1 band in NYC by The Deli Magazine) have a new video out for their song, “Ceiling Wax”, and we missed it because we were out [...]

New York trio Chairlift have released another video from their 2008 debut album 'Does You Inspire You' entitled Ceiling Wax, the long-players closer. Their first video was for Bruises (which you can see HERE) and where that was an indie-pop dream come true, this is a slow-burning, more ethereal affair, swapping jaunty antics for hypnotic atmospherics.

Chairlift took time out of their busy lives of being on iPod commercials and being nominated for MTV Video Awards to play a show in front of a very excited crowd at The Rhythm Room last night and it was awesome. Even the people that I overheard talking about leaving and going to the "leather and or gay" bar stuck around and I am pretty sure enjoyed themselves despite the lack of any S or M. Che...

I don't know why I jumped over the Chairlift wagon a lil bit late. Maybe its because they kinda reminded me of Stricken City (to make the story short ). Chairlift is a Brooklyn-based band with polished beats of funky guitars, soft electronic drums, and a broad range of celestial synthesizer sounds that produces a dark mystifying effect to anyone within close proximity. They emerged into the ...

To kick off Day 2 I headed to the Levi's Fader Fort, home of free beer, shoddy sound systems, free SoCo, solid art from Mr. Brainwash, and some of the most over hyped band in the whole blog universe! The day started off with those folks from the current iPod Nano commercial Chairlift! The Fort was already pretty packed by the time the band came on, some of us were well lubed from the free Bass

Yesterday I reported that Yeasayer and Chairlift had canceled their October 22nd performance at Paradise. This is not the case. Yeasayer will still play at the Paradise on October 22nd. However, Chairlift will not be at the show. Suckers will replace Chairlift as opener for Yeasayer. I apologize for the confusion and wanted to make the [...]

A great song deserves a great video. Chairlift's Knife-inspired dance cut "Evident Utensil" satisfies its end of the equation, and director Ray Tintori's visual mind-fuckery here more than does its part: The Brooklyn-via-Denver trio walk through fields and paint-splattered sets, the film freezes and swirls, and the band re-emerges with facial features built from those previously paused pixels....

Williasmburg-via-Boulder, CO electro-pop trio Chairlift have a very good debut album, out now digitally and physically this fall via Kanine. I spun its standouts nonstop for a few weeks over the summer, enough to line 'em up for a BTW ... but then a ton of festivals happened, I moved apartments, and living out of boxes and suitcases can be pretty distracting. But travel and unpacking are a grea...

Brooklyn's Chairlift opens up for Ariel Pink's "Thanks Mom I'm Dead" tour tonight in Denton. I don't know much about these guys, but I've been listening to the shit out of this song lately:Here's another slightly less perfect song, originally found at the always prescient 20jfg. Chairlift's record comes out in November, but you can download it now on eMusic.mp3:chairlift :: evident utensil~~
