These ten confirmed tour dates kick off February 27 at the American Airlines Arena in Miamia, Florida. They’ll wrap through the Midwest and end March 15 in Glendale, Arizona. Other Lives will support for these dates.

Chicago trio Yourself and the Air are heading out on tour in support of their recent release, Who’s Who in the Zoo EP.

Who’s Who in the Zoo is the band’s fourth EP since 2006. Yourself and the Air’s indie pop provides the perfect soundtrack to the summer. The drumming is tight, but the heavily reverberated guitar and loose keys give the band an experimental edge that creates a swirling ambient trail for listeners to follow.

Hailing from Chicago’s lower west side, Yourself And The Air combine Midwest atmospherics with the sweeping sprawl of a skyward city built on electricity and steel. Take flight over Lake Michigan and this is your soundtrack. Songs to think to. Songs to dream to. At one moment the infinitesimal line between water and sky, the next the buzzing neons of the boulevard at night, escaping crowded bars for desolate alleys — you and a memory, Yourself And The Air.

Check out the band on tour and give “Trampolines,” off Who’s Who, a listen below:
