Yacht, Dreckig
Recommended
You wouldn’t call Yacht a designer band, as they were not created by some Orlando mogul or a team of strategists. It would be fine, however, to call them a “designer-y” band because the duo’s creative output does not restrict itself to making the slick, unique, slow aerobics EDM. Singer Claire L. Evans was an early voice writing on technology and last year she released a well-received book on little-known women tech innovators called Broad Band. With her Yacht teammate Jona Bechtolt, the duo run an LA event app and have been working to restore the Triforium, a public art sculpture that also may be the world’s largest musical instrument. It’s hard to categorize the group because they’re so diversified. But if cool, collected dance pop that sounds like something models would walk the runway to is your style, most everything Yacht puts out is ultra high-end.
