YACHT – “Plastic Soul” Video

While 2011′s Shangri-La was primarily marked by frenetic bursts of energy like “Utopia” and “I Walked Alone,” YACHT’s new single is probably the softest and most laidback song they’ve released to date. It’s filled with YACHT’s typical New Age platitudes, such as “Hey, the world is old / But I am young and dumb and rightful free” and “We’re indifferent to where, when, and how money’s spent.” The video was shot in Gulf Shores, Alabama and sees the band playing on the beach and setting off fireworks. It’s not clear if this is the start of another album cycle or another one-off like last year’s “Second Summer,” but it’s a welcome return for the duo.
