Being that we live in the same somewhat small major city, there exists the potential for me to run into the members of YACHT at some point. Honestly, I’m not totally sure what I would make of seeing one of them outside of the context of their musical life. Something about them has always struck me as somewhat…alien? I don’t mean that in a bad way at all, I promise. I guess a better way to say it is that seeing one of them at Stumptown grabbing a coffee to go would be akin to bumping into a unicorn while on a stroll out in the woods.
In this respect, Shangri-La might be the most apt record YACHT has compiled thus far. Full of platitudes on the possibilities of life amongst a future utopian society and the worry of slipping into a dystopian wasteland, Shangri-La exudes the spirit of the intensely creative force of it’s creators. “Dystopia” borrows just a bit of a famous couplet from 1984’s “The Roof Is On Fire” by Rock Master Scott & The Dynamic Three and with it creates the single catchiest track of the year.
