Yacht (us)

● 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 transitions 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.

Over the past 2 years Yacht played more than 200 shows in 17 countries around the world touring with such luminaries as LCD Soundsystem, Vampire Weekend, High Places, Architecture in Helsinki.
