The Atlanta based trio recorded the successor to their introductory 2011 EP in New Orleans with producer Brady Blade ( Emmylou Harris, Dave Matthews) and engineer Chris Bell (U2, Erykah Badu ), expanding on their penchant for three-part harmonies with a soulful twist and [...]

Last week New York jovial indie-pop duo Matt and Kim announced that they'd finished work on the follow-up to 20102s Sidewalks and that we'd hear the first track from it next week. Well next week is now this week and as promised, the first cut from the album Lightning is here, complete with an accompanying video of a dude doing some pretty slick basketball moves. It's not an official video, but more of a placeholder, something to watch as you [...]

In anticipation of this weekend at Cuckoo, I couldn't help but share my excitement that Jack Hamill has shared this awesome fix up of his own The Love Quadrant. Undeniably one of Space Dimension Controllers more notorious tracks, some would argue it was perfect the way it was. I would agree with anyone putting forth that argument, but I also appreciate the edit as he has taken the dreamy original into an entirely new place. The talented musician cut out the original vocal samples and held on to that wonderful synth lead, adding some distant verb to create an even [...]

Se 2009 foi o ano da revelação, 2011 foi o da confirmação. Aquilo que em 2009 era pouco mais do que uma amostra da capacidade criativa dos Sidewalkers, materializada pela edição de um EP homónimo , em 2011, com "Black Room Feel", os Sidewalkers assumiram-se como uma certeza no panorama dos novos rockers nacionais de expressão anglo-saxónica. E afirmaram-se em definitivo por uma atitude que só os beneficia. "Black Room Feel" é marcado claramente por essa atitude, pela personalidade vincada de João Jerónimo (voz e baixo), Renato Caetano (voz e guitarra) e Emanuel Severino (voz e bateria). [...]

Nashville's Amelia White returns with her fifth album of alt-country and Americana songcraft with her new Beautiful and Wild set to street February 28. Collaborating with noted drummer-turned-producer Marco Giovino (Robert Plant, Buddy Miller), White says that her new songs were written "in that nether light between dark and dawn, when the ghosts watch you from the window" as the songs touch on "everything from losing a close friend to an untimely death, to being [...]

Check out Chairlift's new video for Sidewalk Safari from their album Something, set for release January 24th 2012. It's your standard band playing their song video, with some animation effects, I dig it.
This Chairlift song has really grown on me this month. This live rehearsal studio version gives it an extra edge thanks to some roving 360 degree camera work. Their second album Something is out on Young Turks in January. Listen to the previous excellent single 'Amanaemonesia' and a Sampha remix of the above song...
After wow-ing everyone with her moves in their last video (not to mention that trip to the Boiler Room) Caroline ... Continue reading

Dank einem iPod-Werbespot sind Chairlift vor zwei Jahren durchgestartet. Nun haben die Wahl-Williamsburger das zweite Album im Kasten. Chairlift machen Pop für die Generation iPod. Schräg genug, um die Chillwave-Playlist aufzupeppen, aber doch zugänglich genug, um im Shuffle-Modus zwischen Florence and the Machine und Feist nicht aus dem Rahmen zu fallen. Dies hat auch Apple erkannt. Der Ohrwurm "Bruises" fand 2008 als Soundtrack der iPod-Nano-Werbung den Weg in die Gehörgänge der hippen Masse. Mittlerweile hat das zum Duo geschrumpfte Trio bestehend [...]

Thomas will return to Uncasville, CT’s Mohegan Sun on December 30th and Atlantic City’s Borgata Casino January 6th and 7th, 2012. These shows offer a rare and exciting opportunity to catch the superstar performing in a more up close and personal setting than usual, playing a career-spanning...
I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Whether you like it or not, clearly. The best way to listen to an album for me is late at night when everything is totally quiet, then to lie on my back on the floor with big headphones on full blast. If it sounds bad [...]
If Caroline's performance in the Boiler Room was a little bit too much for you (why? it was brilliant) then ... Continue reading
UK singer Sampha , who is best known for his work on SBTRKT's self-titled debut, has his way with Chairlift's " Sidewalk Safari ," injecting space into the track while pitching Caroline Polachek's voice up, down, and back up again and muddling the melody. It's the musical equivalent of trying to look at solid figure through a kaleidoscope. Maybe I'm overreaching, but it sounds cool. Stream it after the jump. Read More...

Brooklyn's Chairlift caught my attention a few months ago with the brilliant video for Amamaemonesia, and they just recently dropped Sidewalk Safari the next track from their forthcoming release, which they have been exceptionally cagey about. Sidewalk Safari + Amamaemonesia by Chairlift While we await more details, we might as well have a dance! The Fader just premiered the futuristic Samphra Remix o f Sidewalk Safari, and it's going down rather well this [...]
