At the beginning of the month we posted YACHT’s Fly On, UFO mixtape, and it turned out to be incredibly popular with the ladies. Who knew they liked their sci-fi tinged disco mixes so much? The mixtape was in preparation for YACHT’s brand new album Shangri-La, the latest volley from the inimitable DFA Records — just out on iTunes (buy HERE) and everywhere else June 28th. Now Jona Becholt & Claire Evans are releasing the first two videos for the album and they’re combining them into one: “Utopia” and “Dystopia (The Earth is on Fire)” were both filmed in Los Angeles and were conceived & directed by Rene Daalder.
