Is it possible to make a chorus out of the word 'amanaemonesia'? Here's a band who want to find out ...
You may have heard Brooklyn's Chairlift soundtracking an iPod advert a few years ago with their oddly jaunty single, Bruises. Though the exposure didn't propel them to platinum status, it did lead to the rerelease of their debut album, Does You Inspire You, and probably helped them land a deal with Columbia. Amanaemonesia is the first song to emerge from their forthcoming, as yet untitled second album, and is also the latest release from Grizzly Bear member Chris Taylor's Terrible Records 7in series. The first thing to say about Amanaemonesia is the band manage to form a chorus around that word. The second thing is it's amazing, a beguiling mix of three different songs ? smooth funk opening, 80s electro-pop mid-section, dark spoken-word climax - that somehow hangs together perfectly.
