About Me

ALBUM IS OUT
here are some other web links OUR MEDIA FLASH EXTRAVAGANZA
We just did and interview about the new album for musicgeek.somthing CHAIRS INTERVIEW
so i guess some people have some good things to say about the album.......
Three Imaginary Girls said: "Still it's not hard to see how Chairs have made this genre their own. The soft vocals of lead singers Jeff Excell and Becca Hsu are layered throughout the record, adding an element of variety to a tune that may have otherwise fallen into banality. In many ways Excell and Hsu sound more natural in their melodic interactions than Ben Gibbard and Jenny Lewis ever did."
"File Folder is a fun and catchy debut, and I can only hope that Chairs in the Arno will continue to work together and release that sophomore album soon. "
Cable and Tweed said: "Chairs in the Arno play smart and catchy synth-pop, somewhere along the lines of Looper or The Boy Least Likely To. Although their songs are often bittersweet and understated, they're also lovely and charming."
Culture Bully said: "Chairs in the Arno capture that moment in life when you realize that it’s alright to begin to reflect on the fun you’ve had, that moment you realize you’re some strange form of an adult - all the while knowing that there will be plenty of good times to still be had."
Mainstream Isn't So Bad... Is It? said: "The primary palette of sounds here is unabashedly electronic from beginning to end. It really reminds me of another album I enjoyed earlier this year: Au Revoir Simone's The Bird of Music, although with male and female vocals adding a human element to all the bleeps, bloops, and synth-sounds that energetically flit by. Consider it youthful digitized quirkiness to brighten up your day!"
