According to Wikipedia, YACHT is “an American band from Portland, Oregon, Marfa, Texas, and Los Angeles, CA.” Whatever their origins, they will perform Thursday, 3/29 at Portland’s Mississippi Studios and in Salem at Wulupalooza on 4/21. (Complete tour info is here.) The dance duo, Claire Evans and Jona Bechtolt, will be playing tracks off their new album Shangri-La, the duo’s latest album and their most thematically ambitious work to date. It showcases an exponential evolution in their songwriting and ability to produce sharp, surreal hooks.
