A Black Cab Session with Chairlift

Jan 12th, 2012 in Music

Brooklyn’s Chairlift are the latest band to cram into a tiny black cab and drive around London performing a song for The Black Cab Sessions.  Having not released an album since 2008, the electro-pop band has a new album, Something, coming out on January 24th on DMZ.  You may recall Chairlift for its ubiquitous iPod-commercial-worthy song Bruises, which you can listen to way below.  Lead singer, Caroline Polachek, has always had a Brit-lilt to her singing so the London backdrop is perfect for their performance of new song, Ghost Tonight.  We like the spare setting that eschews excess and comparative subtlety of this performance by the band.  That’s no apparition…the girl can sing.  Check it out, and then after another new song, Sidewalk Safari, from the new album before the Bruises nostalgia ensues.
