Yacht Announce London & Manchester Shows

• 12th Oct 2009

Following rave reviews for their DFA debut – See Mystery Lights – and recent support shows with the YEAH YEAH YEAHS, the genre-and-media spanning life project that is YACHT will be jetting into the UK the week after next for two live dates in London and Manchester, seducing us with their insanely catchy electro-pop and genius avant-garde dance moves…

Tuesday 13 October – LONDON – White Heat @ Madame JoJo's (£5)

Wednesday 14 October – MANCHESTER – The Deaf Institute (£7)

Recent single 'Psychic City' is out now digitally with remixes by Joe Goddard (Hot Chip), Rory Phillips and Classixx.

Love for YACHT:

“The most exciting avant-garde outfit to flourish since The Knife… a quirkily compulsive collection of grooves that should soundtrack your Indian summer.”
NME – 8/10

“A sassy collage of Bowie's Young Americans, post punk mavericks Tom Tom Club, and electro flavoured label-mates The Juan MacLean, garnished with flashes of post-modern wit”
Q – 4 Stars ****

“Inspiring stuff… YACHT's lo-fi laptop robo-pop is cute, ramshackle and bursting with sonic oddities”
Time Out – 4 Stars ***
