Founding Fathers, released june 19 on Captcha Records, is the fourth jewel in chandeliers’ lovingly hand-crafted crown: 10 tracks of luminous Balearic electro-funk for the Nintendo generation. From the orange-aura’d opener “New Times” through the hazy pop-locked dream of “Tropical Pocket” and the shoegazing techno-meets-Prince skronk of “Singularity,” Chandeliers pull deep in their pockets to distill the sound of summer sun and Technicolor loft parties that last deep into the night. While deeply inspired by their involvement in artist loft/punk collective
the Shape Shoppe (the Chicago equivalent of Baltimore’s legendary Wham City), the chandeliers take a diy aesthetic and marry it to smoothed-out arrangements that are perfectly ready for your avant-disco dancefloor.
