"Chairlift are a band stuck between rock and an art place. Not quite poppy enough to cross over to the mainstream (even their song Bruises soundtracking a 2008 iPod nano ad campaign didn't properly break them), but not quite experimental enough for the avant crowd" BBC

About their latest album : Something

"That these studio rats have mastered kitsch-en sink sonics is perhaps unsurprising; what's unexpected is their ability to deliver such full-bodied arena-pop cheese while remaining so cool and detached. These 11 roomy tunes fall all over the sonic spectrum, which is a credit to Chairlift's curatorial skills" Spin

"Emerging from difficult circumstances (Aaron Pfenning, co-founder and ex-boyfriend of singer Caroline Polachek, left the band in 2010), Chairlift’s second album is a joyous affair. Dark, bittersweet ballads, high-octane 80s electronics and innumerable hooks wrestle for centre stage, but the irrefutable star of the show is Polachek’s newly-unleashed vocal dexterity" The Fly
