Introducing - YACHT
“Introducing” focuses on something just added to the WOXY.com playlist that is not only new to our playlist, but new to WOXY.com in general. Today the spotlight is on the new album from Yacht, titled, I Beleive In You, You’re Magic Is Real. The album is out on record store shelves today.
- YACHT is the full time musical project of Jona Bechtolt, who is also one half of The Blow.
- This is the third full length effort from YACHT, and the second of his albums released on Marriage Records.
- Jona recently had a big CD release party concert on a Yacht. Aptly billed as “YACHT on a Yacht.”
- YACHT is preparing to go on tour for a few weeks this spring with LCD Soundsystem.
Here are a few reviewers quotes about the new album.
- “Unlike Bechtolt’s more song-oriented production as one-half of the Blow, Yacht songs lean heavily toward the kind of detailed and scatological construction that makes listening to music on headphones a participatory pastime.” - Prefix Magazine
- “Like Dntel, Yacht, the name programmer Bechtolt uses, predates his better-known collaboration, and, again, like the bridge between Dntel and The (Postal) Service, fans of The Blow will should make an easy jump to Yacht.” - Aversion
- “I Believe in You is another step beyond merely adding programming to Khaela Maricich’s relatively straightforward tunes, occupying the same beat-prankster territory as Tundra while not drifting too far into the abrasiveness of breakcore.” - Pitchfork
