YACHT: See Mystery Lights

for yacht's fourth album (and first for dance label dfa), the brainy duo - hot-shit remixer jona bechtolt and singer / science writer claire evans - holed up in a thrown-together studio in rural west texas and ended up with what might be their breakthrough record. both melodic and fashionably electro, see mystery lights runs precisely programmed digital ear candy through a talking heads-ish art-pop sensibility, tossing in congas, afropop chords and loads of synth squiggles.
