Something by Chairlift

Released:  January 25, 2012
Rating:  69.09
Genre:  '80s Influenced Alt Rock

I hear influences of everything from Madonna to Annie Lennox (The Eurythmics), the Bangles to Cindy Lauper and Deborah Harry (Blondie).  Even a little Chrissie Hynde (the Pretenders) and a few things I can't place.

This is the second album from the Brooklyn (formerly Boulder, CO) two-piece band.  According to the press I can find on them, they formed in 2005 to write background music for haunted houses; and you can still here that in some of their slower tempo stuff.

Again, the reviewers seem somewhat higher on them than I am , but that's not to say it's not a really good album.  Check out Sidewalk Safari on YouTube by clicking the link.
