Putting a danceable twist on art rock, Krautrock, and avant-garde influences, Chandeliers’ kaleidoscopic electronic jams are artful yet accessible. Together the quartet of Cameron Brand, Chris Kalis, Harry Brenner, and Scott McGaughey played with adventurous indie rock bands like Icy Demons, Killer Whales, and Michael Columbia and began making electronic music in 2004 as an escape from Chicago’s chilly winters, debuting live later that year at the University of Chicago. Their first recording, the Circulation single, arrived two years later, and the albums The Thrush, Dirty Moves, and Roulé (a split with like-minded Chicagoans Mahjongg) between 2008 and 2010 revealed more layers of Chandeliers’ entrancing energy. The grooves continued on the album Founding Fathers, released in summer 2012. __ allmusic.com
