David Fostex – Dark Yacht 2

David Fostex – Dark Yacht 2 is the eccentric and irresistibly smooth follow-up to the cult 2023 release Dark Yacht, diving even deeper into the mysterious world of yacht funk and late-night soft-focus grooves.

Produced with the encouragement of multi-instrumentalist and producer Shawn Lee, Dark Yacht 2 delivers ten original compositions blending funk, soul, soft rock and tongue-in-cheek satire into a uniquely entertaining listening experience. David Fostex channels smooth yacht-rock aesthetics through surreal storytelling, offbeat humour and cinematic arrangements inspired by marina nightlife, faded luxury and midlife absurdity.

Behind the playful themes lies a meticulously crafted record full of warm analogue textures, laid-back grooves and sophisticated funk instrumentation. The album balances comedy and musicianship with ease, creating a modern cult-funk release that feels both nostalgic and strangely contemporary.

This vinyl edition is recommended for fans of yacht rock, funk, soft rock, Shawn Lee, cinematic groove music and leftfield soul releases.
