Interview with Claire and Jona of YACHT!

In interview I’ve done with the core members of the band YACHT for Musos Guide.

Desktop icons including ones of Marcel (Marceau, I assume), Pilot Abilene (from Richard Kelly’s Southland Tales), Amanda Lear (singer and Dali muse), and Tom Cruise can be downloaded from the blog of the band YACHT. Not an advertisement, but I’ll get back to that. The project of YACHT has evolved from Jona Bechtolt, to Jona Bechtolt and Claire L. Evans, to Jona and Claire with a full-fledged band. It also includes everyone who has been involved with the band at any time, for that period of time. The band has been growing in popularity in the last couple of years, riding alongside LCD Soundsystem on the DFA label. This June they released their fifth studio album called Shangri-La, and although music is very much at the core of YACHT, it is also a bit more than that. Take these desktop icons. If you look at them, they are quirky, playful, a bit silly, a bit of fun. Yet next to all those things, the icons also indicate the influences of YACHT. References as well as a bit of fun. With YACHT we talk a bit about both these things, and also about their new album, their tour, and childhood memories.
