Chairlift- Take It Out On Me
Not even half way into the year and I’m already picking bests. Chairlift’s third album Something is an exceptional listen full of sultry, easy vocals by Caroline Polachek. Everything she sings sounds so smooth, precise and felt matched perfectly with the modernized 80′s like beat. Below is another cut from the album called Take It Out On Me, and be sure to catch the duo on one of their very many tour dates this year. Something is out now.

This band is awesome!! I just saw their new video for “Met Before,” where you get to choose your own path, and definitely recommend checking it out. It’s really neat how they do it: http://www.chairlifted.com/metbefore/
