Hearing chairlift i think of a more synthetically processed matt & kim or maybe camera obscura. Chairlift are poppier, there's no doubt. I'd more expect them to cover hall & oates than the bird and bee. But that's digressing -- all of these synth-pop tunes lean towards the hook, some executing better than others, like "sidewalk safari". It sounds like Library Voices awash in synth with a hint of stevie nicks / fleetwood mac. A couple songs near the end are "just ok", which keeps me from really liking this one.

Not a bad cd on any accounts, but there are just so many half-baked songs and it often seems to play to the worst of those modern brooklyn-band pretensions

Skirting down the corridors to deep in the pan shiny melted felt tips we have this little album! For all its merits and all its charm it keeps a calm smile and polite facade at all times. 'Met Before' and 'I belong in your arms' really prove it can set the roof a light though. Aims high, gets bigger and exceeds all expectations. No disappointment to be found every where. Your shiny shiny album for 2012!

I Belong In Your Arms is def. one of my favorite tracks of 2012
