Shangri-La captures the spirit of uncertainty and restlessness that 21st century modernity has created.
Working on many levels: entertaining, thought-provoking, musically satisfying and yes, still pretty funny too in parts.
There’s a certain magic in being able to shake your booty to music with heavy themes, and YACHT nails that duality perfectly here.
YACHT have concocted a record to match their peers in Metronomy, Cut Copy and Friendly Fires.
This is a fun and highly commendable record; well produced and with some excellent pop songs.
The record tends to burden its good times with a few too many ideas that simply aren't that distinctive.
