“I tried to do handstands for you”

Does You Inspire,  released in November, 2008, is Chairlift‘s first album.  The band began playing in 2006 in Colorado where they found themselves rocking a “new breed of pop” with their mystical, somewhat spooky tunes.  Chairlift created a lot of buzz when their single “Bruises” was featured in a recent Ipod commercial.  

Caroline Polachek, Aaron Pfenning and Patrick Wimberly, make up the Chairlift this awesome trio, and I suggest you check them out on October 18th @ Bowery Ballroom, or October 21st for the CMJ Music Marathon.
