unitedtumblchristians:
Wow the band YACHT is very unholy, thinking that they can create their own religion and philosophy. Trying to stray people away from their true religions. No, I cannot be my own God, for I already have a God!!
Like and reblog if you are against YACHT!!
This can either be the beginning of a conversation or the end of one. Let’s choose the former. YACHT has...

WatchYACHT collaborated with Portland-based Into the Woods to film a live performance of their song “Beam Me Up” in a suburban laser tag arena. It looks amazing, and premiered today on NPR.
Maybe YACHT wouldn’t be that sad if the complete and total annihilation of the human race happened tomorrow. The video for their song “Beam Me Up,” off their recent album Shangri-La,...

JB: We’re a speck on a speck on a speck on a speck on a speck on a speck.
CLE: We are but a mote of dust hanging in a sunbeam, to quote Carl Sagan. We are certain of our irrelevance!
From Q&A — YACHT
WatchWilliam Gibson is one of YACHT’s great literary prophets. His well-documented cyberprescience aside, it’s his observations about the role of technology and art—as a kind of massive external memory for the human race, as a public, magic mirror that walks around and remembers, respectively—that surface in YACHT’s rhetoric. This interview is full of gems, like...
How do your spiritual beliefs or lack thereof...
CLE: I think it’s more about an interest in engagement with ideas than it is about having a set of beliefs. We have definitely the YACHT mission statement and the YACHT philosophical tracts. Everything’s delineated. For us it’s more about wanting to have conversations with people and needing a starting point to have those conversations. We’ve set out lists of ideas: We...

What can you tell us about The YACHT Trust?
The YACHT Trust is an organization loosely related to YACHT that controls and implements the YACHT philosophy; it’s the ideological branch of YACHT. As artists and touring musicians, we have less and less time to directly monitor how the world at large interprets our ideas — the YACHT Trust keeps tabs, communicates with fans, and disseminates the core tenets of our ideas to interested parties....
