Where can you find a mixtape that contains Arthur Russell, Harry Nilsson, Tears for Fears, Bad Brains, and White Rainbow? To answer that question, YACHT have released Anthem of the Trinity, a 37-minute mix made up of songs that "subconsciously inspired" their latest record See Mystery Lights. The sticker on the package says:
These are the songs which drove us to the moment when we first saw the mystery lights in the west texas sky. As we stood in the desert, facing these stars, fallen out of the universe, we wondered, “what combination of tone and chance has led us here?
T-Pain on the same mix as Terry Riley? This might just be the greatest workout mixtape ever made. (Or, you might irreparably pull a hamstring.)

You can buy Anthem of the Trinity here.

Where's Desmond's Dekker's "The Israelites?" The chorus to Yacht's "Afterlife" sounds like it to a T. Give the dude credit, it's a great song.
