For some acts, stripping a sound down to essentials is easy: Strap on the acoustic guitar and maybe use a snare drum instead of a full kit. It was different for YACHT; it's not a simple guitar-bass-drums band. Watch the electro-pop group's striking performance at the NPR Music offices.

Set List:
"Dystopia (The Earth Is On Fire)"
"Psychic City (Voodoo City)"
"Shangri-La"

  • She is so, so, so cute........ really, she is so cute. So charming.

  • I might not have given their studio work a second listen if I had not seen this. Her voice is way more interesting without autotune and they show some depth as a live act that I'm not hearing from the recordings.
