The single "Evident Utensil" was nominated for an award in the "Breakthrough Video" category at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. Everything makes sense now.
This music video is the peak of what it means to be an indie artist. The song is ingenious and not like anything else out there, and the video is also very well produced, mixing really beautiful sceneries, accentuating Caroline's beauty, at the same time containing dark undertones
people commenting on how bad this video is..: this video was ahead of its time, and still must be to some degree if people aren't seeing how amazing this video truly is... the sequencing and patterns of the clips that are being datamoshed are brilliant and very intricate. the corruptions could look a lot messier, but it's well planned. one of my favorite videos.
Im scrolling through Chairlift's discography after finding out Caroline's been in the industry for a while. I recognize a lot more songs than I anticipated. Wild.
@@Y0utubeIsFuckingHomo 💯.. I dig the solo stuff, but Chairlift was better. But hey, I was a young thing listening to Chairlift, and they were brilliant and timely, and what Caroline is doing now is as well, and I get that people are going to have a bias largely geared towards what they experience in their youth. For me, this song is the pinnacle, and this video is an absolutely masterpiece, but then this song and video were part of many intimate and beautiful experiences I had as an early/mid 20 something. I can get people not appreciating it as much as I do, but what I can’t abide is people saying the video is bad… Kids need to eat more psychedelics, and less benzos, or whatever misleading them to thinking this is bad. Put a tab under your tongue and watch it again, there’s no way they’re going to still think it’s bad art…
This is from Wikipedia, on the article Welcome to Heartbreak Following its completion, the music video [Welcome to Heartbreak] was released ahead of schedule after they [Kanye and friends] learned that the technique used within it had been employed in another video by the Brooklyn-based electronic group Chairlift.
I'm glad I discovered caroline and then ramona Lisa and now discovering chairlift I'm in love with Ms. Polachek's work! this video is definitely ahead of its time
I watched this for the first time on acid, it was crazy. Now I am watching it in a normal state, and guess what, its still fucking crazy. This is an excellently made music video, fucking go chairlift
I’m returning to this for the first time in a while, and I am happy to see my friends and I were not at all alone in tripping with this video back in the day. I was 22 when this came out, we probably first watched it when there was barely 1000 views on it, and it became one of the videos I would show people for years if I tripped with them.. 13 years later, it’s still incredible, and this song is just as infectious as ever!
Never thought i would see live Caroline Polachek i remember listening to this years ago i may say maybe 8 years or more. Brought me so much joy, like a dream come true. It wasn't chairlift but sure incredible, I love Caroline bc she is so talented and creative and she was huge parte of this group as the others
Still one of my favourite videos. I love how the changes in scene don't match the music, and they appear in places you least expect. It gives me this funny feeling, like pushing on putty with my fingers but with my brain. Anyone reminded of those 3d magic eye books?
What's cool about this video for me (as someone who's been into music videos for many years) is that if I'd been watching it on TV -- like most of my experiences with music videos had been until about the mid-2000s -- it wouldn't have had the same effect. The visuals took on meaning for me because I was watching the video on TH-cam and have had my fair share of buffering and streaming issues over the years. Like, I knew they were intentional, but I was always asking in the back of my mind, "what if it's a glitch?" I don't know for sure that that's what the directors were going for, but if it was, then that was pretty forward-thinking of them! Basically the internet version of burnt and corrupted film effects lol
I’d say all the above, but also the trailing, bleeding, colorful kind of effects your vision is subjected to when you’re tripping. I always felt like it was simultaneously referencing psychedelics and those kinds of glitching digital effects, but the exact artistic intentions I’m not sure.
@@nikolademitri731 "the exact artistic intentions I’m not sure" - probably: "...it looks cool". I don't think that many artists are sitting there thinking of some sort of deep symbolic meaning every time they're doing any particular thing. Sometimes it's just about the aesthetics, and that's fine and good.
For all people doubting quality of this video - so you know and don't sound dumb, these are not compression artifacts - it's the style of the video. It'll look the same everywhere.
Best video of 2009. Period. If you understand that time and the dramatic change we saw between 2007-09 with the end of the 2000s 70s revival (which led on from the 90s 60s revival) and the beginning of the 2010s 80s dreampop revival. This video was about 4 years ahead of its time but is still sooo 2009
The only way I can think of to do this effect would be to output a sequence from FCP7 without rendering and applying a bunch of effects to each track and just stack the videos one on top of the other. I am really impressed that someone finally did something creative with this glitch in digital editing software (even if this was done purposefully in an actual graphics program like after effects or something)
This is a great video. I first saw that effect ('datamoshing'?) in a music video by the Presets (Down Down Down) but man it is a so trippy and well done with the timing of the song.
sort of... but less blurry you know more focused images. I guess it depends on the dose too . I had friends who just saw"cool" distortions so I guess it depends on the person ME and another friend who've been studying the mind and the occult we actually saw out of this world shit and perceptions I can't explain LIKE telepathy.. I use to draw on a sketch pad app on my phone which has a option to draw symmetrical things so I discovered slot of patterns on acid. some of the ancient figures like every angle of the 5'6'8'10'12 pointed STARS. the meaning of the 12 on the clock and how it relates to. "time" And the location of Saturn and how Rolex uses those sacred patterns to create their watches. if you go on Rolex.com you're gonna see all their stuff is based on metrology numerology. the 12 on the clock wasn't a 12 before it was something different which the Romans used which is why watches have the old version. sounds crazy? yup not everyone's cup of tea lol but oh well psychedelics are. "fun" to some and a teacher to the rest of us. like tupac said once you can see the rules of the game it becomes a game you can play and only then will you make it . X6X
I have been tripping to this video, and sharing it with my friends for over 3 years now. it just never gets old. always an lsd staple, but it's just as great sober.
The images' overriding element , it's like when the digital signal stream hangs or sputters, loses continuity... here I see somebody's learned to control it and add to it. Pretty cool. (and yeah, when a tv channel is 'offline' that way I HAVE recorded bits of it... found it fascinating... like Fauve painting) I'd like to live is such a landscape. For short whiles at least. The girl quite appealing when she comes thru in moments. The song's cool too.
Ok so I watched the video, loved it, and then I realized I wasn't in the highest quality...so I watched it again, because well.. if you're gonna see something this epic you must go all the way :)
nikitikitano its for Orchestral Manuveurs in the Dark (OMD) an amazing 80s Synth/New Wave band that pretty much did something similar to what Chairlift is doing in the video.
The video is super cool and psychedelic, and representative of Chairlift. I dont see how people could say it’s bad. Like are they expecting to see a blockbuster maybe? A music video is supposed to just be a support for a song and if the song is great who cares 🙂

Finding out that Kanye got super mad because he was in a Datamoshing tech race and these guys released their video first is super funny
💀💀fr the lad still bitter
Didn't Linkin Park also release a video with this technique around the same time?
What was Kanye’s video?

The Of Montreal album False Priest is in the same rough ballpark as this song. But yeah this still has its own flavor

@@thecircle8568 You're wrong and @rvufo is correct. the end.
@@thecircle8568 I was transfixed the entire video. Your eyes are broken.
Chairlift & this video was magical. So happy to witness them in their prime. Sadly her new solo stuff is meh...
datamoshing is hard to achieve let alone a full length 3 min video
Im scrolling through Chairlift's discography after finding out Caroline's been in the industry for a while. I recognize a lot more songs than I anticipated. Wild.
Chairlift is better than her solo stuff IMO but they never got the break they deserved, so they broke up. Door is really fire though.

This has to be one of the best video clips of all time. Or you wouldn't be commenting on it.
She is so pretty and talented.
Damn, I didn't know Caroline was datamoshing in her videos way back in 2009. Very apt.
DATAMOSHING. I LOVE IT
Worthy of a beef with Kanye
2021? I'm still listening to this song
i can't explain bc i'm happydrunk on a friday, but this band has been a light and a bouy in my life. God Bless This Band
What an absolutely excellent song...This is the first time I have ever heard of this group; but, My attention is captured..
Caroline will never be able to surpass this, and that's okay because it's perfection.
For all people doubting quality of this video - so you know and don't sound dumb, these are not compression artifacts - it's the style of the video. It'll look the same everywhere.
I know you're joking.
But for all who actually believes this guy, the video was datamoshed. And it was on purpose.
kiki3510 whatever it is called, point is - this is intentional and will look the same everywhere.
the best datamoshing video I've ever seen
probably the coolest music video ever made.
the greatest music video i have seen in a long time, BRAVO!! who made the video?
i didn't even know there was a third member in the group
He left the band soon after the first album.
One of my favorite Chairlift songs. Great stuff!
Pauses video for 5 seconds. "Oh that fixed it! It looks clear now." lol

It's also used in the the music clip for The Murlocs song Compensation. That one looks a bit better and is a bit trippier too.
Can this be done in premiere?
i heard something about "keyframes" something something MAGIC, hope that helped
Wish you guys were still making music :o)
wish granted
Ava Lightbody And wish finally denied.
I could never get enough of this song...It's the best!!
1:43 - best part of the video. Kudos to the datamosher!
jeez this effect is so in right now haha..this is way ahead of its time damn
The Evidence is clear and the Certitude is most certainly ascertained.
so many emotions to this song, video suits perfectly !!!
Gotta love those oohs!
GREAT SONG! I love Chairlift! Amazing video!
-Eric Chicago
so catchy! can't stop clicking the replay button!
Her singing makes me happy. :]
I think it looks cool and leaves something to the imagination.
I always keep coming back to this song.. Something special about it.
Cool song, trippy video, dig it! Good stuff.
This is a great video. I first saw that effect ('datamoshing'?) in a music video by the Presets (Down Down Down) but man it is a so trippy and well done with the timing of the song.
Wow. Datamoshing is so insane. So trippy I get so lost in the viduals
4/20 is the day to watch this
Missing those days
I had forgotten about this song. Memories
This was best video of 09 for me. Love this stupid little video.
just discovered them, very creative both musically and lyrically. a nice suprise.
Is this what an LSD trip is supposed to be like?
That's datamoshing. LOOK IT UP.
Read my question again.
nah, not really.

Lovely.
his face already melted at the beginning of the video...
This is great!
i wouldn't be amazed to know that Jack Stauber somehow got an inspiration from this particular song and video
Amazing song, amazing duo.
THIS SHOULD HAVE 1 MILLION VIEWS
this song is tweepilling me
It will be a long time before anyone comes up with a music video THIS trippy.
Masterpiece video.
it's not poorly encoded, it's an effect you can apply on a video with a vj program. i have a video artist friend who uses it a lot on his work.
this is too good
I love you Carol 🤩🤩

Hi. 2020 here.
Thought youtube in chrome is shitty again but it's the music video. Luv this.
this effect is cooler than welcome to heartbreak
Este video lo conocí de chico cuando lo pasaban en Cartoon Network y jamas pensé que la encontraría... hasta que hace dos años conocí a Caroline
This song is so Jack Stauber and Marina in the BEST way
BEAUTIFUL DATA MOSHING IS BEAUTIFUL
Fun fact this done by swapping the movement data of objects of the frame and the colour information of the pixels between two clips
EIKO is there a tutorial on how to do this effect somewhere?
like this is so technically done its art its amazing!
This song deserves more then 340,651 views!
I missed you guys! 😭
Love the water stuff. And those tights. Just yes. XD
i would very much like to know what the fucks going on starting abt 1:47
How have we never found you guys before. Fantistique! X
