I Thought the Future Would Be Cooler

YACHT

Sleek, high-definition electropop that pairs danceable staccato synths with sharp-witted critiques of the digital age and modern disappointment.

It's the perfect disco soundtrack for realizing the internet was a mistake.

A bright, high-energy dance party fueled by deep-seated technological disappointment.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The eight-minute slow-burn build of Miles & Miles that sets a surprisingly expansive tone for the record.
The title track's infectious, bouncy synth hook that contrasts sharply with its disappointed lyrical core.
The sudden, aggressive shift into the dance-floor-ready groove of I Wanna Fuck You Till I’m Dead.
