New Release (Paris by Night) LP

New Release is the first studio album from YACHT in five years. Recorded at their home in Los Angeles, the album is a slice of sly post-pop, playfully occupying a parallel timeline somewhere between 1983 and infinity. YACHT are new wave radio rejects; perpetual outsiders; canny observers; dreamer-prophets who average seven years ahead of their time. On New Release, they write about what they know: bubbles in the bathtub, shopping at Sprouts, dissociating while watching TV, side-eyeing the bots, suffering fools, and surveilling half-empty malls, looking for something real. It all comes together in a frisky, genre-transcending opus as formally experimental as it is butt-bumpingly fun.
