YACHT - I BELIEVE IN YOU. YOUR MAGIC IS REAL. :
CD on Marriage Records | Buy on iTunes
"The songs that make up YACHT's I Believe in You. Your Magic is Real. (MAR040) travel well; theyre wide and warm-hearted, not unlike Bechtolt himself, bouncing without pretension from iPod to turntable, as buoyant and easy in a middle school- ers bedroom as they are echoing across a huge crowd, pouring from a jukebox, or woven thoughtfully into a mix tape.
What makes these songs so accessible -- apart from their undeniable vigor, or their fractured, crystalline pop sensibility -- is the strength of their objective. Behind the beats and the choruses, which come from left-field and bloom into frenetic dance breaks, are big ideas about how positive thinking, optimism, and luck can replace blind faith in a world without a lot of white gloves, wands, or magic." - Marriage Records, PDF One Sheet
OUR FRIENDS IN HELL - REMIXES BY YACHT:
CD on States Rights Records | Buy on iTunes
"The first official YACHT release in over two years, Our Friends in Hell takes its title from a song by Thunder Sundress, a now-defunct LA band whose simultaneous embrace and satire of psychedelic folk revivalism can be compared to the joyful plunder of YACHT's unselfconscious, intelligent remixes. These are not remixes in the traditional sense: although the songs are always danceable -- nay, they impel you to dance -- Jona Bechtolt has gone deeper, grasping at the very heart of each song and bringing it out into the daylight, dewy and often unrecognizable. Consequently, Our Friends in Hell lacks the scattered, noncommittal atmosphere of most remix records -- it's designed to play like an album. All of the voices are tied together, freaking out, one weird pulse underlies the whole thing, resulting in a warm, euphoric, together-ness thing rushing out onto the dance floor.
The record also includes a never-released teaser track from the new YACHT full-length, I Believe in You. Your Magic is Real." - States Rights Records
THE BLOW - PAPER TELEVISION:
CD on K Records | Buy on iTunes
"Hold a piece of pop music in your hand. How heavy is it? If you threw it, could you break the window of a passing car? Could you break a tooth? For several years, The Blow have been hard at work developing an essential pop music formula, fashioned, as the best popular music is, with the function of getting under the skin of the people. What that music does once it gets there is what makes The Blow worth thinking about. Fascinated with the physics of pop construction, The Blow makes music that holds a weightless gravity. Their songs are light enough to sail easily through the air, landing simultaneously on the turntable of a London DJ, in your Mom's car stereo, and in the iPod of a middle schooler in study hall. However, they are somehow heavy enough to stick around, laying in your mind long after their new album, Paper Television (KLP177), is over." - K Records
YACHT - MEGA:
CD+DVD on Marriage Records | Buy on iTunes
"MEGA is the 2nd official release from YACHT and it shows enormous growth. A mega ep or mini LP or something like that it is filled with catchy singles, explorations into drone, grunge, and melody. MEGA also comes with a very awesome DVD that has videos, live shows, weird trippy video art explorations into MEGA, tour diaries, and other stuff. This guys got the goods!" - States Rights Records
YACHT - SUPER WARREN MMIV:
CD on States Rights Records | Buy on iTunes
"Broken, freaked out but always with beauty, melody, and hope. YACHT's debut CD "Super Warren MMIV" is elegant and an extremely human example of electronic music. The frustration of a failing relationship with someone you love dearly meets the escapism of intricate, immersive, and bumping music. This is really where the soft click meets the hard rip. 16 radical Snap Traxx." - States Rights Records
