ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

YACHT is one of the many creative alter egos of Jona Bechtolt, a musician and multimedia artist who embraces an eclectic but playful blend of electronics, acoustic percussion, and noises of all sorts.

One is a complex and empowering banger about living anywhere you want, from the new album, See Mystery Lights. The other on   [ read more ]

A carefully crafted, edited, and generally enhanced continuous 37+ minute mix of songs that subconsciously inspired the musical themes of See Mystery Lights. Ranging from Arthur Russell to INXS, Talking Heads to Bad Brains, from gnostic dance party to deep meditation (and back), this is a definitive compendium of their innermost influences.
