简介

2008年Chairlift推出令人惊艳的首张专辑《自我启发 Does You Inspire You》，单曲〈Bruises〉成为当年iPod Nano广告曲，Chairlift很快打开国际知名度，并被Columbia Record签下，开始筹备新专辑《Something》。来自纽约布鲁克林的Electro-pop风格，并历经为期一年半的巡演，创始团员Aaron Pfenning决定单飞后，也由主唱Caroline Polachek和贝斯手Patrick Wimberly，共同完成Chairlift第二张尽是灵巧梦幻、仿佛乘著时光机闯进未来的全新梦幻作《Something》。 Chairlift的音乐充满电影场景的戏剧感，主唱Caroline的声音空灵、极具穿透力，缥缈氤氲穿梭跳跃在天堂和地域之间，以非常优雅的方式挑逗听觉神经。专辑以〈Sidewalk Safari〉开场，这是一首撂下狠话：「最好不要被我在路上遇到，不然我会开车撞你」的歌曲，Patrick的贝斯则在这场狩猎风暴中狂飙，令人大呼过瘾；〈Amanaemonesia〉是失忆症？还是某种情绪释放的new age仪式？别想太多，还是跟著Chairlift的MV跟著做体操动作保持超现实的平衡吧！Chairlift从40首创作中精挑出11首作品、花了近两年时间完成这张浓度及精致度极高的《Something》，国外乐评纷纷给予Chairlift的新作高度好评，Pitchfork盛赞：「Chairlift敞开自己，谱出精彩的pop。」听过就仿佛被Chairlift深深催眠，脑中自动重复播放萦绕不去的旋律，不知不觉敞开了身体里某个陌生的自己。 Brooklyn, NY (by way of Boulder, CO, where the trio originally came together) avant-pop outfit Chairlift formed for the unusual purpose of crafting music for haunted houses. Finding that their work transcended the original purpose, Aaron Pfenning, Caroline Polachek, and Patrick Wimberly pulled up stakes and headed east, settling in that most musical of cities -- not to mention one always looking for new and unique ideas -- New York, New York. Chairlift soon made a name for themselves in their first two years in the Big Apple, playing shows with similar up-and-comers like MGMT, Yeasayer, and Mixel Pixel, winding up with a deal with independent label Kanine. Their first release on the label, a single entitled "Evident Utensil," featured a remix by the aforementioned MGMT, and was a precursor to the group's debut full-length release, which saw the streets in 2008.
