Something is the second full-length album by American indie band Chairlift in the United States via the Columbia Records on January 24, 2012,[4] and in the United Kingdom via Young Turks on January 23, 2012.[2] The first album since founding member Aaron Pfenning left the band in 2010, Something features production from Dan Carey and Alan Moulder.[5] The first single, "Amanaemonesia", was released as a 7" on August 16, 2011 via Terrible Records.[6] In March, 2012, an interactive video for "Met Before" was released. The video, directed by Jordan Fish, allows the viewer to determine the direction the main character takes.[3]

In discussing the musical influences on the album, lead singer Caroline Polachek mentioned Strawberry Switchblade, Bill Nelson, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) and Art of Noise, along with black metal and Japanese classical music.[7]
