YACHT are perpetual outsiders in art, music, tech, and maybe even time itself. This is both a bug and a feature. For example: YACHT started work on the Grammy-nominated album Chain Tripping in 2017. Their groundbreaking process, which involved custom machine learning models trained on YACHT’s previously-released music, is the subject of the 2024 documentary feature film The Computer Accent. But after touring the album around the world, performing at film festivals, and speaking at conferences, YACHT lost interest in Artificial Intelligence completely—just as its polarizing popularity reached fever pitch. This is always how it goes for YACHT, who average about seven years ahead of their time.
