Hxwt Flwrrs


These 3 hip young musicians are the latest thing and they live right in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, as they never tire of pointing out. One member is listed as a drummer, but strangely, only electronic beats can be heard on their latest album. They also use one-string guitar riffs with plenty of reverb and have a sassy female singer. Breaking news! They just signed to this really hot, new indie label which I've never heard of and were chosen as a "New Band We've Been Paid To Tell You About" in Alternative Press magazine!

------------------------

Strangely, if you ignore the snark, MP hits on some key points with Brooklyn-based Chairlift. The drummer, at times, switches to bass and lets electronic drums take over; their singer certainly has a bit of spunk when performing live. However, the guitar riffs are a bit more dream pop in nature. Furthermore, their old indie label, Kanine, probably didn't have enough cash to bribe Alternative Press, but their new label, Columbia, probably does.
