Missed this band at SXSW, so as you can imagine I was pretty fucking delighted that Filter placed Feathers on the lawn at their annual Goth-chella party. Hints of Blondie, Benatar and Depeche Mode were a mainstay in the group's music. They performed a tightly knitted set, very synth driven similar to Class Actress who played the exact same spot at last year's Filter Party. [...]

The thought that led to this short video was, basically, "Wouldn't it be nice to document bands' pre-show rituals?" As soon as I realized YACHT would be in town to perform a Full Moon Party, inspired by the traditional Thai full moon parties, something slightly larger clicked into place: YACHT are not just an electro-oriented band with elements of post-disco, new wave, synth-pop and the like, but a multimedia project with a cross-cultural view of ritual and philosophy. It's an approach that informs the very core of how they operate, evident in their videos , their music, [...]

This month marks the 10-year anniversary of YACHT , the wacky electropop outfit from Portland, Oregon. To celebrate the occasion, the band has recorded an awesome new track titled "Second Summer", which comes paired with an equally awesome animated video. The video, directed by ADHD, stems from the band's appreciation of the director's previous work: We've been unabashed fans of ADHD & Ben Jones' work since his days with the art collective Paper Rad and jumped at the opportunity to channel his rare strain of visual damage into YACHT's world. This video [...]
ADHD directs the new video for Yacht 's "Second Summer." You know what to expect from Yacht, and this does not disappoint. The song is out as a digital single right now.
YACHT has been a music-making entity for ten years this month, so they're celebrating with a new track, "Second Summer," and an accompanying, touchingly weird, sensory-overload animated video by the collective ADHD. It's a short song, clocking in a little under two minutes, but it gets the point across: Claire Evans sings "Can you stand by your man when shit hits the fan?" over a beat that's half club banger and half vaguely cinematic theme music. Check it out - and catch the band's anniversary show if you're in LA this weekend. [...]

Early this morning we've shared Yacht 's new single "Second Summer" being released today via DFA Records. Here's the super cool video for this addictive tune. The movie is a result of a collaboration between Yacht and ADHD , which is a block of animation airing Saturday nights on FOX starting next year and all over the Internet right now.

YACHT , banda originaria de Portland, está compartiendo una nueva canción con video como celebración por sus diez años de vida. “ Second Summer ” es un track de electro dance con un video bastante interesante: la animación de un triángulo feliz en psicotrópicos. El video lo realizó ADHD -Animation Domination HD- una productora de animación que se acaba de unir a FOX para animar cortos y series.

To celebrate their 10th anniversary, Portland's YACHT dropped today a new single, "Second Summer", on DFA Records and it's so damn catchy. In their own words: "'Second Summer' is a state of mind: overcoming obstacles in order to be close to what you love, a temporal place where sun never goes out no matter what season it is in your hemisphere. Like the original Summer of Love and its acid house revival, the Second Summer of Love, our aim is true: to create environments of total freedom." Download "Second Summer" for free below, and [...]
Psychedelic Portland dance-party duo YACHT haven't announced plans for a new album, but they're giving us a new song and a new video anyway, to celebrate the fact that they've been an ongoing project for 10 years now (even if "they" where a "he" for a whole lot of those years). The new song is the streamlined, bumping "Second Summer," and it nicely illustrates the idea that YACHT are still continuing to get better. And the video, from directors ADHD , is an animated thing about the druggy adventures of a smiling triangle. Watch it below. Read [...]
