Jona Bechtolt from The Blow has released a solo album under the name YACHT that might just have the best title of the year. It's called I Believe In You Your Magic Is Real and it's full of quirky little electronic ditties like this. Just remember ALL CAPS when you spell the man's name.
Not only does the excellent new Hot Chip DJ Kicks comp contain our favourite song ever, it opens with this electro-soul beauty from Grovesnor. On this evidence they're destined for big things.
