The Chairs were one of my bands to watch for this year, and for good reason. They did an absolutely killer Neutral Milk Hotel Cover and released one really solid debut EP. They have hit me up with another cover this time of Bon Iver’s magical song “Flume”. They did a fanastic job with it, really making it their own while also keeping the eerie atmosphere that Bon Iver created. These guys keep putting out more magic. You gotta listen to this:

Also I got word from band member Alex Schaaf letting me know that they are working on their debut album with a hopeful release date of March 17th and have planned a sping tour in order to promote the album! Check out the dates:
