After a whirlwind 2008, Brooklyn dream-pop trio Chairlift prepares to embark on a North American tour with electronic avant-pop artist Yacht, who will be releasing their forthcoming full-length, See Mystery Lights, with new label DFA in the late Spring. After making a pit stop at SXSW, Chairlift will continue their tour across the US and into Canada, joining up with Sebastian Tellier and Peter, Bjorn & John.

Chairlift spent a good portion of last year on the road, teaming up with Ariel Pink and Yeasayer for two cross-country jaunts, as well as heading out on a European tour in the late fall, which included dates with Why? Telepathe and Santogold among others. In the wake of Chairlift’s catchy pop single “Bruises” getting chosen for the colorful new iPod Nano-Chromatic commercial, the band ended the year with a bang, with their debut, Does You Inspire You, being named one of SPIN Magazine’s Top 40 Albums of 2008, as well as making many of their peers’ Top 10 lists. Chairlift was also recently voted the “Best Emerging NYC Artist of 2008″ by The Deli Magazine.
