Track Of The Day 23/4 – YACHT

Given An xx Redub

As technology becomes ever more accessible, the lines between rock and electronic music have blurred.

Signed to DFA Records, YACHT entered last year with their debut album. A mixture of post-punk and proto-techno the band won acclaim across the duelling worlds of dance and indie rock.

Releasing their new single ‘The Afterlife’ on Monday (April 19th) the band entered the summer with a grimace. Mean and moody, the track was given a number of re-workings by some notable producers.

Amongst them, however, stood The xx. London based indie gurus, the band have begun to make a name for themselves with a series of startling remixes.

Tackling ‘The Afterlife’ The xx have turned it into a swamp of sub-bass, adding some deft dubstep beats to the lingering melody.
