Chairlift, the Brooklyn duo, return from a nearly three year hiatus to release their single, “Ch-Ching” on October 16, 2015 on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 radio show.”Ch-Ching” dances around several concepts impressively combining vocals, synths, brass and harsh electronic beats. The song is the first single release off their new upcoming album Moth which will be released by Columbia Records in January 2016.

Polachek says that the song, “…is about that moment of disbelief when you’re confronted with a huge opportunity or stroke of luck, and you take it and run with it– pumped full of adrenaline, but you pretend it is business as usual. It’s the kind of miracle people move to NYC for. The audition you didn’t think you’d get, the lie that accidentally works brilliantly, finding a $100 bill on the sidewalk.”

In their absence, Chairlift members Caroline Polachek, singer, and Patrick Wimberly, producer, have been quite busy. Both collaborated with Beyoncé on her self-titled album on the track “No Angel”.  “No Angel” was written and produced by Polachek and co-produced by Wimberly.  Under the alias name, Ramona Lisa, Polachek released and toured Arcadia, a self-produced solo album. She collaborated with artists like SBTRKT, Blood Orange and several others. Wimberly produced and collaborated with artists such as Solange Knowles, Wet, Kelela and Tei Shi.

All week, Chairlift teased their fans with short snippets of the highly-anticipated music video for their new single.

Today, October 16, Chairlift released the full music video. The video shows Polachek and Wimberly dancing through various, industrial parts of New York City in vibrant outfits.
