  • YACHT's follow up to See Mystery Lights is due out on June 21st. After their debut release album as a duo, Jona Bechtolt and Claire L. Evans return with another full-length on New York City's DFA. For the record the pair have enlisted long-time collaborator and frequent stage member Bobby Birdman to create another collection of avant-garde pop. To wit, first single "Dystopia (The Earth is on Fire)," is reportedly based on the group's reaction to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and the press release for the album states that "YACHT asserts that the future is a blank slate upon which anything can be imposed... Shangri-La argues that 'Paradise is kinetic potential, a latency within us that has been eaten alive by time.'" Tracklist 01. Utopia 02. Dystopia (The Earth Is on Fire) 03. I Walked Alone 04. Love in the Dark 05. One Step 06. Holy Roller 07. Beam Me Up 08. Paradise Engineering 09. Tripped & Fell in Love 10. Shangri-La DFA will release Shangri-La on 21 June, 2011.
