Mar 10, 2016 By Christopher Roberts Chairlift

Chairlift released their third album, Moth, in late January via Columbia. Now the band have shared a video for “Crying in Public.” It features black & white footage of the band performing the song in the studio, fittingly intercut with color shots of frontwoman Caroline Polachek crying in public, on the streets of New York on a cold winter’s day (her tears perhaps turn to ice) and on the subway. Allie Avital directed the clip. Watch it below.

They have previously shared a video for its first single, “Ch-Ching,” both the audio and video for the album’s second single, “Romeo,” and the audio for both “Crying in Public” and “Moth to the Flame.”

Moth is the follow-up to 2012’s excellent sophomore album, Something. In 2014 Polachek released Arcadia, a very good solo album as Ramona Lisa. She also recently shared a new solo song and video, “The Boy Who I’ll See Again,” in conjunction with MAKE Beauty.
