Amidst the revival of psychedelic music in the New York underground, Chairlift has chosen to work closely with musical associations within their own generation, shifting between pop-art jingles, synthesizer-heavy film soundtracks, and DIY basement beats to project an organic portrait of the young blood raised on Lite-Brites, riding the transition from analog to digital.
Chairlift formed in 2006 in Boulder, CO within the indie-folk scene. The trio is comprised of Caroline Polachek, art student, Aaron Pfenning, film student, and Patrick Wimberly, jazz student. The relocation of the band to New York has demanded deeper consideration of the polarities between honesty and irony, strange and familiar, modern and vintage, and anonymity and communion.
