Evans & Jonah Bechtolt of YACHT] YACHT , standing for: Young Americans Challenging High Technology, released an homage to 19602s, avant-garde French Icon, Brigitte Fontaine , this past week, free of charge. Le Goudron is a cover crafted for those starry-eyed fools lusting for their neon-soaked dance floor. As a collective, YACHT promotes the following notions: "YACHT knows that to confront the world without ideas is to see the formless void." "YACHT encourages the testing of these ideas in the laboratory of your own nervous [...]
Yacht has covered this dancey little number, "Le Goudron", in honor of Brigitte Fontaine and to gear up for their European tour. Call me naive, but I have no idea who Brigette Fontaine is.

Embrace the dance! and then watch the equally fun video. Tweet

Le duo Yacht , maintenant réputé pour leur univers haut en couleur est passé à l'étape supérieur avec la conception d'un parfum (mixte) à leur image. Le parfum Shangri-La ne sent pas « Le Goudron » mais bien un paradis exotique. Grâce à la sensibilité du groupe aux univers sensoriels riches, leur copine d' OLO Fragrance , une parfumerie pointue de Portland, a pu développer une essence sophistiquée représentant l'intérêt de YACHT pour les univers hypersensoriels. A l'occasion de leur passage aux Nuits Sonores ils seront présent au Gonzo [...]

There's nothing like a bit of french to come across nonchalant... Juxtapose that with some squeaky electro and you've got yourself Yacht's new track Le Goudron. FYI "Le Goudron" is a surrealist revolutionary song originally recorded in 1969 by Brigitte Fontaine with The Art Ensemble of Chicago. Watch video below...

In 1969, French avant-garde singer Brigitte Fontaine teamed up with The Art Ensemble of Chicago to record the surrealist revolutionary anthem "Le Goudron" . In 2012, Portland electro-pop duo YACHT have, in their own words, "reinvented its naive-apocalyptic candor for a neon-soaked dance floor, our preferred autonomous zone."

The accompanying video, with a endearing, home-spun quality to it, sees the group throwing their own little dance party amid a sea of fog [...]
