At last, Chairlift have released the highly anticipated follow up to their 2012 album, Something. Moth is a welcome return from the Brooklyn duo. Featuring many of the signature sounds we have grown to love over the past two albums, Moth captivates and surprises with many twists and turns throughout its ten tracks.
Since releasing Something, Chairlift have collaborated with a long list of artists, including Beyoncé, SBTRKT, Blood Orange and Solange Knowles. These experiences have allowed them to create an album that is steaming with indie pop virtues, comprising unfussy song structures and sensual saxophone lines aplenty.
Look Up begins the album with a drum loop that recalls Phil Collins’ In The Air Tonight. Combined with Caroline Polachek’s spine tingling vocals, it’s the perfect album opener and transitions nicely into Polymorphing, which is a highlight. Featuring lush synth arrangements and lively brass arrangements, lead single Ch-Ching is instantly addictive.
It might’ve been four years between drinks for Polachek and Patrick Wimberly, but Chairlift have definitely delivered on album #3. Moth is crammed full of indie rock anthems to make your heart swoon and put a smile on your face.
