YACHT - Summer Song from Jona Bechtolt on Vimeo.
I need to admit that it has been a while since I've busted out Portland's darling, energetic YACHT, featuring Jona Bechtolt and Claire Evans. Somehow, 2007's I Believe In You. Your Magic Is Real. fell out of rotation sometime last fall, as autumn leaves were turning into mold on Seattle streets.
Thankfully, their new sexier, dirtier, and less twee image kind of gets me off... almost. There is still a strong stench of Portland cuteness, but the deep cynicism that I have always suspected in Bechtolt comes more to the surface via some kind of A-and-R-guy-plus-record-label sub-plot. This video becomes a gross, vaguly pornographic departure from the relentless optimism of the band's last record.
A disco reality chech is just what I need on the day after this bizarrely momentous election. Also, the single is out on DFA, which is fucking chill because is means (for DJs like me) that it can be found on 12 inches everywhere.
