Chairlift, a multi-instrumental three-piece, hail from Brooklyn, New York, play a thoughtful, dream-filled pop music, combining the timelessness of unforgettable melody with spare and sophisticated production, a meta-psychedelic worldview, and a classical avant-garde sensibility resolutely and merrily embracing the future.

 

Chairlift is: Aaron Pfenning, an experimental minimalist guitar player, who creates the delicate haunting quality of Chairlift; Caroline Polachek, a Connecticut-born singer whose vocals shape-shift from the ethereal to the earthy to the evanescent, depending on the particular needs or lines of a song; and Patrick Wimberly, a Nashville native whose decision to study jazz and orchestral arrangements at university first brought him into the radius of the band.

 

The group's genesis lies back at the University of Colorado, where, in early 2006, fellow students Aaron and Caroline met in an economics class, quickly developing a friendship and musical simpatico that led to the creation of a nascent version of Chairlift. Aaron claims he pulled the band's name from a list of potential monikers compiled by Caroline and stored in a document file on her home computer.
