Last night before bed I did something I usually do on a sunday night and that was make a mix to drive into work to. It is something that makes me want to get up for the morning drive, and it is also a reason to buy songs on itunes for my personal collection. Usually when I wake up on a Monday I am eager to start my week, but today something was telling me not to head into work. This was strange...
Caroline Polachek, one-third of Chairlift, sings in a TV-filled room in the new video for the Brooklyn band's breakout hit, "Bruises." If you're not familiar with the song by its name, you probably heard it while you were watching an iPhone commercial not too long ago. Check it out:
My newly-found fave band are Chairlift. They're latest album 'Does You Inspire You' is released 30th September and i cant wait. 'Bruises' is on the new ipod nano advert, i wonder if we'll see another Fiest-like explosion. 'Evident Utensil' is another brilliantly quirky pop song that hasnt left my head since i heard it. Well worth a listen .

When it gets cold in Atlanta, I have to force myself to listen to pop music to keep myself upbeat and moving throughout the day. It's the type of weather that threatens to hinder all productivity like waking up on a Saturday morning when it's pouring rain outside. ...
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 ...
Chairlifts wonderful Bruises has not gotten old. I don’t think it ever will, it is just too pleasant!! I got an email showing me a beautiful acoustic version that the band did on a porch. The song is stripped down to its bones, but the bruises still sound GREAT![mp3] : Chairlift - Bruises (Acoustic) *It [...]
Chairlift’s “Bruises” was used as an ipod commercial a lifetime ago to garner much attention but they have recently come up with their very own video for that track.
