Ch airlift’s third album builds on this foundation while taking these signa tures to a place that is more ambitious and personal than ever before. Son ically rich and emotionally uninhibited\, Moth marks an astonishing prog ression.\n\nMoth is the product of an intense and unconventional recordin g period. In 2013\, Chairlift found an office deep inside the belly of a f ormer pharmaceutical factory in Brooklyn and converted it into a thriving collaborative hub. Following a vigorous period of writing (five tracks wer e written in a one-week burst)\, Caroline and Patrick took an improvisatio nal approach to the production and set up a “revolving door” atmospher e\, where friends could come in and out\, adding to the live instrumentati on.The contrast of the vacant factory and the warmth of friends\, plus a n ew faithfulness to their first musical experiences (Patrick’s roots in N ashville\, Caroline’s childhood years spent in Tokyo)\, kept them focuse d on the emotional core of the record and gave way to songs that simply fe el bigger and richer.\n\nCaroline and Patrick have been collaborating sinc e2004\, since before Chairlift was formed. In addition to their records to gether\, both Caroline and Patrick have explored a number of musical side projects: Patrick has worked with artists such as Solange Knowles\, Wet\, Kool A.D.\, Tei Shei and others\, while Caroline’s collaborations includ e Blood Orange\, SBTRKT\, Fischerspooner and more. She also released and t oured Arcadia\, a self-produced solo album under the alias Ramona Lisa.\n \nIn early 2013\, Chairlift were approached by Beyoncé to collaborate on her groundbreaking self-titled album. What landed on the record was “No Angel\,” a breathy R&\;B jam written and produced by Caroline and co- produced by Patrick. Experimenting with their sound in this new context op ened up their writing process and helped broaden their scope as they set o ut to make Moth.\n\nThe resulting album is a document of complete artisti c freedom -- a sensuous and loose record that effortlessly flows from bull s-eye pop hooks to textured\, gut-wrenching balladry. Moth is a joyful a lbum that speaks directly to the body through exquisite sonic play. It mar ks a significant lyrical shift in tone for Chairlift\, now playing with in timate narratives instead of the often abstract palette of their first two albums. Out on October 23rd\, Moth is an open-hearted pop masterpiece tha t will entrance new listeners while delighting longtime fans.ngtime fans.
