In support of their upcoming European tour dates, YACHT is has released a new song, a cover of Brigitte Fontaine’s “Le Goudron.” Yacht’s Claire L. Evans is a French native, but this song marks the first track they’ve ever recorded in French.
Of the song, YACHT says, “we can only hope that our frantic, starry-eyed cribbing of Brigitte Fontaine makes us better people. In the meantime, we wanted to pay homage.”
The duo also announced a string of European and US tour dates. See the schedule below.
