YACHT – "I'll Be Your Mirror"

The earth, the earth, the earth is on fire! We don't have no daughter, let the mother fucker burn!"

Thus go the most memorable lyrics I have from a band in 2011. This abrupt line that kicks off the hit track "Dystopia" from YACHT's ever-rebellious album Shangri-La sucked me in immediately, leading to YACHT's placement as one of my favorite Indie artists, and one of the best of 2011. Their ruckus, no holds bars attitude delivers an oddly refreshing wave of energy upon the listener, a unique trait that they've perfected over time — while others seem to try too hard for the same effect.

But not all YACHT is yack. The well balanced duo knows how to hit hard as well as strike gently, and this diversity is perhaps best exemplified in a compaprison of "Dystopia" to their latest single/cover "I'll Be Your Mirror." The cover is short and sweet, offering a beautiful rendition of the Velvet Underground's original.

Music Blogger/ Indie Music Consultant/ PR Representative/ Musician/ Artist/ Entreprenuer/ Comedian/ Music World: Contact Me. Upon this day, I declare that Indie music is leaps and bounds more pure than anything else, and the Term "Indie" means not that a band isn't mainstream, but that a band has been able to hold on to its roots, even through fame and fortune. While the wonderful thumps and womps of electronic music gets me grooving, it will always be the Alternative Indie Rock that guides me to the homeland. And for that -- I both thank it and applaud it -- for it has brought me great pleasure in the past and will so in the future.
