: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Shangri-La, YACHTÆs second album for DFA Records and the :,
: follow-up to their critically acclaimed full-length, See Mystery :
:' Lights, is the duoÆs most thematically ambitious work to date, ':
,: showcasing an exponential evolution in songwriting and sharp, :,
: surreal hooks. When the darkly anthemic track, ôDystopia (The :
:' Earth Is on Fire),ö was released digitally in April, YACHT ':
,: offered a window onto the new album. Members Jona Bechtolt and :,
: Claire L. Evans described the track as an ôapocalyptic fight :
:' song, a cautionary tale, a science-fiction story for our ':
,: particular eco-sociopolitical landscape.ö These themes are :,
: echoed throughout the conceptually unified Shangri-La. In :
:' contrast to the meditative, mantra-esque quality of their ':
,: debut, Shangri-La is a narrative work. :,
: The album explores mankindÆs eternal pursuit of Utopia with a :
:' soundtrack comprised of compelling pop melodies, fiercely ':
,: druggy grooves and an endlessly diverse canon of influences. The :,
: message here is that the future is a blank slate upon which :
:' anything can be imposed. Shangri-La is literally YACHTÆs idea ':
,: of Utopia: a place made of songs. Never a band to stay in one :,
: place sonically, visually or philosophically, YACHT transformed :
:' themselves, taking advantage of a proper studio for the very ':
,: first time and using more live instrumentation than ever before. :,
: :
:' Recording in the West Texas desert without an engineer, the duo ':
,: employed a kaleidoscope of genresùranging from disco to :,
: psychedelia, from krautrock to punkùall culminating in pure pop. :
:' Shangri-La was performed, mixed, and recorded by Bechtolt and ':
,: Evans themselves. The Utopian illustration featured in the :,
: albumÆs encyclopedic cover design was painted by iconic science :
:' fiction illustrator Jim Burns, three-time Hugo Award-winner. ':
