LA indie-rock outfit, Yacht Punk, release their latest record, ‘Ghosts’. They shared a new single, “Modern Condition” ahead of the LP release. Check out the album up top in full and read a bit about the album below!

The album has been a work in progress for the last 2-3 years. It was originally going to just be a 4-5 song EP, but eventually we ended up having enough songs for a full album. There’s not a lot of artists who are put out full albums anymore, and most say its just flat out a bad idea. That ended up being a big part of the allure, I wanted to try something that not a lot of other artists were doing. At the end of the day I think the album has a flow and a lot of variety, and we hope that everyone can find something on the record that speaks to them.” – Graham Bockmiller, Yacht Punk

Laying on the floor of his unfinished basement studio in Beachwood Canyon, Graham Bockmiller realized it was time to go out on his own. The LA-based band Great White Buffalo had run its course, leaving him unsure what would come next. Graham spent the next year holed up inside his studio by himself; contemplating life, writing, collecting nude calendars of Eastern European women suggestively holding large trophy carp, and experimenting with the raw recording skills he had taught himself. Inspired by artists like The Strokes, Foals, and HEALTH, he began exploring new sounds and textures outside of the traditional rock staples of guitar, drums, and bass – testing the limits of his DIY recording chops in search for a more interesting, vibier sound. These songs would later become the beginning of Yacht Punk.
