My Big Album Preview Strikes Again. Chairlift: Does You Inspire You +++ New "Planet Health" Video

The dazzling tracks on the forthcoming LP, Does You Inspire You [preorder] from Brooklyn's Chairlift drift from delicate folktronica (Earwig Town) to stylish synth-pop (Bruises, Evident Utensil) to dreamy post-punk (Territory).
The album's climax, Planet Health [video below], perfectly combines lead singer Caroline Polachek's ethereal vocals (Kate Bush, Joanna Newsom) with a hypnotic melody that reminds me of The Cure and The Cocteau Twins.

great post! though, just an FYI - "This Love" is not a Cocteau Twins track. It's by Craig Armstrong, featuring Liz Fraser on vocals.
