bruises is a song from american indie band, chairlift which i believe most of you already heard it last year as it is the song featured in apple ipod nano 4th generation commercial. the song is taken from their album released in 2008, titled “does you inspire you” under kanine records. the album was quite difficult to grab one, it was quickly soldout. (and i might add that their album is kinda brilliant.)
luckily, this year, the album “does you inspire you” has been released again under columbia records (with two new tracks), and they just created the promotional music video of their famous song.
so here it is, bruises by chairlift.
