With a New Year’s resolution to “Bring Fun To America,” YACHT launch a new tour next month and offer you a remix of their cut, “I Walked Alone,” right now.
We can’t tell you how many press releases we get each day that begin with bloated obfuscations from fellow journalists about how the band of the moment will forever change the course of time (and, of course, music history).
YACHT, on the other hand, quote Robert Anton Wilson and Grand Funk Railroad.
From Wilson: “You should view the world as a conspiracy run by a very closely-knit group of nearly omnipotent people, and you should think of those people as yourself and your friends.”
From Grand Funk: “We’re an American band.”
We saw YACHT at Seattle’s Bumbershoot festival this past September so we know from experience they are, indeed, an American Band. We also know their goal to “physically touch, spiritually question, and ecstatically catalyze our friends all over this great unbridled continent” is a guarantee, not a vague election year promise.
Download this Get A Room! remix of “I Walked Alone,” buy up some tickets to your local dance hall and prepare to get your YACHT on.
