- Crystal Antlers look like outcasts from six different bands, and at various points on this record, they sound like it, too. Merging lo-fi, psych, garage, and everything in between, their debut EP is an unorthodox summer record-- not so much for driving to the beach as actually being in its sweltering grasp, equal parts scorched earth and wide open spaces. Though it's tempting to pass this disc off as a stopgap on the way to a triumphant long-player, there's enough triumph packed into its 25 minutes to qualify as one of the year's most promising debuts. Plus, you know what they say about always leaving them wanting more. Best New Music, Pitchfork

- Frequenting late-night jazz shows at the strange Broker Inn on the outskirts of Boulder, CO, Caroline Polachek, Aaron Pfenning and Patrick Wimberly are all mystified by the 1980's faux-gothic architecture. Oak-cabinet aquariums, vacant dance floors, and muffled velveteen booths provide the ideal hypothetical setting for a new breed of pop music. Intent on making music for haunted houses, Chairlift in the summer of 2006.
Shortly thereafter, relocating to Brooklyn, the trio further develops their sound into hypnotic yet tongue-in-cheek style, which is apparent in their first single. "Evident Utensil" was called "a charming pop oddity" by the NME, Exclaim! gave it "immediate cult status," and RCRDLBL.com deemed it, "the best single from a Brooklyn band since like TV on the Radio or something."
