Chairlift - Bruises [single] (2008)

Chairlift is from New York and my friend Sameer has a huge crush on the lead singer. Last night, I discovered this tenaciously catchy song on my drive home. "Bruises" starts out totally Feist-like and then continues to develop into a lovely duet. The lyrics are slightly silly yet endearing, "I tried to do headstands for you but every time I fell for you" and “I grabbed some frozen strawberries so I could ice your bruising knees.” It’s the perfect song to sing in the shower - complete with ooohs and doos.

Nice. Way to step up and do a single.

For another Brooklyn based, guy-girl, synth-pop track, check out: "Sinking Feeling" by Mixel Pixel, off their Let's Be Friends album.

It definitely sounds like a single I need to check out.

Hey Nightrain, it's all about taking baby steps... I just downloaded Let's Be Friends and the Walkmen's new album. I'm curious to hear what they are like. Who knows, I might get inspired and write some more!

Awmercy, let me know what your women thinks and if it made you dance like a pansy.

Yeah, that is so weird. I had no idea about the commercial when I was reviewing the song. (I'm just not that cool)...
