“i tried to do handstands for you, but every time i fell for you’
-You will be hearing those lyrics quite a lot in the upcoming months. That’s for sure.
I mentioned this hot new band Chairlift in a previous post but they deserved its own post for sure. Everyone seems to be/will be buzzing about the sweet song used in the ipodnano chromatic ad. The band behind this gem is the Brooklyn native 3 piece Chairlift. The song used in the newest Steve Jobs ad is called ‘Bruises’. The song has a tender side to it that really reminds me of The Moldy Peaches hit ‘Anyone Else But You’. I really cannot get that connection out of my head. It has to be the dual female/male vocals.
The song has a lot going for it. A lot more than you think at first. The song has a catchy bass line with a simple but effective beat working behind it. The vocals are the strength of the song, Caroline Polachek’s voice could not sound any better here. The lyrics are pretty sweet/cute and are effective in the nature of the song. There is no doubt this song will be seen in future movie soundtracks.
The band has become close with other Brooklyn acts such as MGMT and Yeasayer, who they are touring with quite soon actually. Their debut album ‘Does You Inspire You’ comes out on September 30th (my birthday!). These guys got a bright future, they are just getting started to. People will be doing handstands for this song for quite some time….
