In honor of outfit YACHT's upcoming Shangri-La tour of
Europe beginning on April 26 in Nantes, France, they've released a bold
cover of iconic avant-garde French singer Brigitte Fontaine's
"Le Goudron." Originally recorded in 1969 with The Art Ensemble of
Chicago, YACHT transform the song into an electro-flavored jam for the
dance floor. While Claire L. Evans of YACHT was raised in France, this
is the first song YACHT has ever recorded in French. "We can only hope
that our frantic, starry-eyed cribbing of Brigitte Fontaine makes us
better people," says the group. "In the meantime, we wanted to pay
homage."
