\n

\u201cWe LOVE Icarus Complex and are thrilled that YACHT, one of our absolute favourite bands, are part of the Everything is New project. When we first handed out the samples from the Sun Choir album to all our magnificent BOATS contributors, we asked them to make whatever music they wanted, but to think about what the kids might like to hear themselves singing, hinting that the kids like to DANCE…”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
