Yatch formed in Brooklyn around 2010, with vocalist Claire L. Evans and guitarist Jona Bechtolt at the core. They put out an EP called 'Summer Song' in 2011, and their first full album, 'Shangri-La,' followed in 2015. A track from that album, 'Psychic City,' got some radio play on alternative stations.
Their 2018 album 'Second Summer' gave the band its title track, a hazy, nostalgic piece that became a focal point for listeners. The record tightened up their synth-pop sound, leaning into Evans's clear, floating vocals and more polished production.
The band is rounded out by Robby Sherman on drums and Joe Benz on keyboards and bass. They released another EP, 'The Night Before,' in 2021.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
