No doubt “Bruises” is the song that made Brooklyn-via-Boulder trio Chairlift famous, but when they recently released a non-nano video for it — Caroline Polachek watching, painting and rolling around in front of various blue-hued monitors — it’s like they reclaimed the Does You Inspire You track as more than a jingle. Same goes for their performance of it on Craig Ferguson last night. It was their U.S. television debut, if you don’t count the commercial. Ferguson can’t help but wink-wink when saying “Brooklyn synth-pop trio” because he’s more into Los Angeles noise-pop duos.
Does You Inspire You is out via Columbia.

lame. lame song. lame performance. lame band
While I agree with you, I have still marked your score down.
I am so very tired of this song.
perfect
See, the music itself is kind of cool and I dig the girl’s voice, but holy shit are the lyrics stupid and cheesy.
Especially when they’re delivered by the male “singer” and his mumble, mumble, C’mon Barbie/Gonna Make You Sweat stupid voice.
wow that was absolutely amazing- they sound the exact same live as they do one their album- awesome.
What’s up with her eyebrows?
are you guys crazy? this band is so good. I’m suprised they’re not bigger. although I wish they would try to distance themselves from the ipod meme.
She will be mine. Oh yes, she will be mine.
Yeah, pretty much the worst lyrics in the history of music. Bruisey knees and strawberries?
Right on. The repressed Grade-School-Bully-Within is crying out that such pansy lyrics cannot go unavenged.
Most strained faux Brit accent ever
It was okay up til where the dude started singing (and ruffling his hair)..
i used to think some bands are so tight. but i guess this band share everything except a comb.
The song is meh, but she’s gorgeous.
HIS VOICE IS STUPID AND HE SOUNDS LIKE A NEON PIZZA COMMERCIAL
I AM COMPLETELY OVERCOME WITH RAGE
Jeez… what’s with all the cynicism?
Decent band, catchy song… give the hipster elitism a rest already!

I think yer missing on how the cheesy/fauxness is partly ironic/partly serious – look at their videos. It’s supposed to be somewhat kitschy. Besides, she really has one of the best voices in music – name someone else you know who sings THAT well.
that guy’s verse is the best thing in the song. but OFCOURSE he’s another one of those floopy hair brooklyn kids that just HAD to play with his jacket lining and ruffle his hair. oh well. the girls eyebrows are magnificent.
Gag. Gag. Gag. Gag. Gag. Gag. Boring. Cliche. Painful to watch. The pointless, insipid lyrics were almost as bad as their delivery. When the guitar player starting singing and pushing his hair back, I literally gagged and scrambled to turn it off.
how aboutthe lyrics to yellow submarine, she loves you (yeah, yeah, yeah), I wanna hold your hand? Too cheesy for you? Too?
