Colorado-based Chairlift are anything but your average electro-pop outfit, I mean, have you seen lead singer Caroline Polachek’s mind and body-bending, Thom Yorke and Robyn-rivalling dance-off in that ‘Amananaemonesia’ video?

Popping up on the reverse side of an out-now vinyl version of ‘Amananaemonesia’ is new song ‘Peculiar Paradise’, which the band have elected to give away via RCRD LBL for the bargain fee of $0.

Like its name, ‘Peculiar Paradise’ is unusual, unearthly and lush in fluttering fronds of 80s-inspired industrial beats and some truly divine pop melodies. Risking a backlash from Michael Jackson devotees; at its finest, most unruly moments it runs on a ridiculous funk flex worthy of comparisons to a psyched-out, ‘Bad’ era MJ. Basically, it’s great. If you’re registered at RCRD LBL (and even if not, it’s free to sign up), download ‘Peculiar Paradise’ below.

Colorado trio Chairlift are attempting clear our memories of their iPod commercial-soundtracking song ‘Bruises’ with brand new track ‘Amananaemonesia’, which will appear on the band’s TBA new LP ‘Cool As Fire’.

Coming from the same alt-synth school as bands like MGMT, Chairlift’s penchant for left-field electro music takes the fore in this sugary rush of eighties-inspired melody, which is rendered all the sweeter by classically-trained singer Caroline Polachek’s airy vocals and beatific octave-spans. Stream ‘Amananaemonesia’ below, and don’t forget, it’s out as a single on August 16 via of-the-moment indie label Terrible Records.

In the absence of anything more free or exclusive to offer you, here’s a clip of the Chairlift gang larking about as they skim through a live play of oddball in-French track ‘Flying Saucer Hat’. Tres amusant.
