After just one album (2008‘s ‘Does You Inspire You’, which has recently been reissue on Columbia) Chairlift have already established themselves with their brand of sensitive and atmospheric synth-led indie-pop.  Their minimalist style transfers itself to the live environment extremely well, the group becoming a power trio for the modern age.

That’s not to say they can’t do the slow stuff either, as those that have heard the 80s wistfulness of ‘Planet Health‘ or the majestic etherealness of ‘Territory’ will testify.  Their gig at the Paradiso was part of a whistle-stop tour of Europe that has already seen them play London, Glasgow and Dublin before moving onto Hamburg, Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm – despite hailing from Brooklyn they have a real European sound and went down a storm here.
