Chairlift might be a business model for the band of the future. Formed in a college town (Boulder, Colo.), the synth-pop trio relocated to an indie-rock hotbed (Brooklyn), caught a huge break (iPod commercial) and impressed many with a sweet but spooky vocalist (Caroline Polachek). We attempt to find out the secret of Chairlift’s success, as they join us for a live performance.

Thank you for interviewing Chairlift. I am fascinated with the fresh creativity of this group. No one else sounds like them and no one else thinks like them. Their music is sophisticated, beautiful, and challenging. I have seen many of their live shows and they deliver the goods every time.

I wish people wouldn't refer to Williamsburg as Brooklyn. I could be wrong and Caroline may live in Bed Stuy. Williamsburg is distinctly different than Brooklyn in general. It may be in Kings county but it is not Brooklyn.
