YACHT stands for Young Americans Challenging High Technology, but they're neither young nor all-American. YACHT is three people—Jona Becholt, Claire L. Evans, and Rob Kieswetter—working in Los Angeles, California, asking questions and answering them with records, texts, videos, objects, installations, scores and performances. They make as much as possible with as little as possible and learn by doing. Chain Tripping is their Grammy-nominated seventh album, composed by running their 18-year b ...

This is a cover of the 2004 song "You Fuck Me Up," by Dub Narcotic Sound System, a lo-fi funk band named after the recording studio in Olympia, Washington, where many of our friends and extended Pacific Northwest community have recorded albums over the decades for K Records and various other satellite labels. The original vocal on this song is perf…

Week six of quarantine and now we're dreaming about long nights driving aimlessly around Los Angeles with our friends, pinballing from place to place and feeling the sense of aliveness you get just from being in cars, showing up to parties, leaving, heading somewhere else, to the club, always moving & never going anywhere, detached from time until …

“Do They Owe Us a Living?” is one of the very first songs recorded by the British anarchist punk band Crass in 1977. The chorus is “do they owe us a living? Of course they fucking do,” meaning that we all—regardless of who we are or where we come from or what we do for work—deserve quality of life. That this idea is still radical in 2020 is testame…

Reeling from the loss of Prince, we dug up an unfinished cover of "Annie Christian" we started in 2011, while recording our DFA album Shangri-La, and finished it. "Annie Christian" has always struck us as one of the weirdest Prince songs, a loose narrative of dark true stories from 1979-1981: John Lennon's assassination, the Atlanta murders, and th…

We found Claire's old 4-track in a box. The tape inside, when we played it back, kept warping. The original was a single-microphone recording of guitar; this rhythm is a consequence of a damaged playhead, like the Tascam is playing along. We couldn't get much of the old songs, but we built this out of what was left over.…
