Yachts - Without Rader
May 1980
Yachts
Without Radar
Genre: New Wave
2.5 out of 5
It had been argued to me as a youth that New Wave required keyboards that sounded spacey and futuristic.
Yachts seem to have bought into that idea.
Two things that don’t work here: The synths and the lead singer.
Well, and his lyrics.
This is an ugly Power Pop record.
From Wiki: "They hammered out these rocking pop songs surrounded by swirling washes of cheap keyboards.”
Yes.
Very Cheap.
“Lush” is the only tune I actually kinda sorta liked.
