Oh
Chairlift...how they've jettisoned off into places we never would have dreamed possible when first we heard them this past
summer. Giant tours, a possible major label deal with Columbia (?),
a Baeble shoot,
and an iPod commercial? Who knew... Regardless, we think it's all rather righteous. After all, we're firm believers that those who come in contact with the band will have no other choice
than become wooed off their ass by the blessed hypnotics that weave their way through the band's brand of globe trekking, synth pop.
And if by chance your still looking for that chance? Well, we've got some news. Looks like the band is preparing to launch a rather lengthy tour with YACHT and Peter, Bjorn, and John this
winter. We've got all the details - from sunny Miami to piss cold Toronto - below. -
