PLEASE DO NOT ADJUST YOUR YOUTUBE
Chairlift are just "datamoshing".
Yes, "datamoshing"--the newfangled video treatment in which images are manipulated to purposefully look like you're streaming video is totally fucked in the ass. Charming! The first time we saw OG datamoshing was in the absolutely fantastic video for "Are You the One?" by the Presets, and we thought it was kind of confusing but immensely cool. Obvi, the video for "Evident Utensil" by Disconap Best Album of 2008 Laureates Chairlift could have been recorded in five minutes on a FlipCam and we still would have been all "OMG AMAZING", but this whole datamoshing (so fucked up that we're already trying to think of a catchier way to say the word "datamoshing") thing suits their style well" beautiful yet weird and slightly flawed.
God we love Chairlift. And the d-mosh (goddamnit).
