YACHT
This is the first time YACHT will perform in Berlin with a full band!
YACHT deliver one of the summer's essential soundtracks with the release of "See Mystery Lights" on DFA Records in August...
● This information is going to be presented in bullet form because YACHT is very committed to efficiency:
● In fact, if this presentation could somehow be a PowerPoint presentation YACHT would be absolutely thrilled
● YACHT would use as many transition effects possible in one PowerPoint presentation
● YACHT’s favourite transition effect is: confetti (without gravity)
● The Summer Song was originally recorded as a love letter to tourmates LCD Soundsystem
● YACHT is surprised that DFA wanted to release the song (and album!)
● YACHT has expanded to an additional full time member: Clare L. Evans
● Incidentally, this is DFA’s first “audio handshake” with representatives of Portland, Oregon
YACHT is kind of a band, but mostly it’s a genre-and-media spanning life project founded and led by Jona Bechtolt of Portland, Oregon. Bechtolt (and new member Claire L. Evans) make anthemic OCD power jams, soak them in holy water and rewrite them into new mantras.
"See Mystery Lights" contains some of the most ingenious, joyous and outrageously catchy summer pop jams you'll hear in this or any other year...
Over the past two years YACHT have played more than 200 shows in 17 countries around the world touring with such luminaries as LCD Soundsystem, Vampire Weekend and Architecture in Helsinki. From lunchtime shows in schools, to stuffy rock clubs, to festivals around the world, to NYC's The Kitchen, to the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art, to a commissioned performance at Paris' Pompidou Centre, YACHT will play anywhere to unforgiving assholes and evangelical followers alike. The YACHT performance is expressly designed to provide groups of people with catharsis and purification.
File Under: Mildy-psychedelic danceable 2000s-era grunge music
"YACHT = megaphysical." - Devendra Banhart
"The energy they brought, the aerobic choreography, the propelling beats, and the catchy repetitive mantras were irresistible." - Vanity Fair
"Oh, man, we love this kid." - NME
"After spinning YACHT's new one, I Believe in You. Your Magic Is Real, we are prepared to echo the album title's assessment with respect to the artist himself." - Time Out New York
"YACHT rock has never been better." - Pitchforkmedia
"YACHT smells wonderful. I must say, all the time he spent in our bus, it was as if a cool breeze was blowing through my mind. and good songs, too!"
— James Murphy, LCD Soundsystem
"Positive energy rainbow dome music from a next-generation west coast healer."
— Dave Longstreth, Dirty Projectors
"YACHT is a true renaissance man, feel his magic zap you with its lightning bolt made of awesome."
— Architecture in Helsinki
