If you're the TV-watching type, you'll probably recall Brooklyn's Chairlift as the band who lent their soaring hook to that iPod Nano commercial. But, as is sometimes hard to remember after Apple co-opts one of your singles, they also have an album with, you know, other songs on it. Such as this number, "Evident Utensil", a new wavey ditty with bouncing snyths and a tight rhyme scheme. Ray Tintori's clip employs a heavy dose of pixelation-- no, that's not your DSL crapping out, it's supposed to look like that-- and when lead singer Caroline Polachek emerges from the digital static, it has the effect of one of those Magic Eye tricks. (Hey, that's easier to see on a computer screen.)
