Live & Local with Megayacht

We stopped by 97.9 The Hill WCHL to talk with Aaron Keck about Out Of Bright — how the record came together at the Biltroy, our practice space — and to play three tracks: “20B,” “When the Wave Comes Down,” and “Putting on a Show.” Listen to the whole session Stepping ‘Out of Bright’: Live and Local with Megayacht - Chapelboro.com

New Video: “20B”

Our single 20B — the first taste of the LP Out Of Bright — arrived on streaming services in May, with the official music video following a few days later. Watch it above, then hear the whole album, out now.

Out Of Bright

Shortly after the release of their debut LP Attacking the Rust, Megayacht began working on a new batch of songs that would become Out of Bright. Whereas the first album featured songs written over the last 10 years before the band started, these songs came together through playing together and often even remembering to record quick iPhone sketches.

It was spontaneous, collaborative, and shared across all four members, each of whom contributed at least one song to the record. Guest players include the amazing keyboardist Creighton Irons, wikipedia-looking-up-worthy horn player Kelly Pratt, and singer Mary Johnson Rockers from Nantahala on the country-tinged duet “Putting on a Show”.

Recorded in multiple sessions between January 2025 and March 2026, Out Of Bright is 11 tracks that span indie, 90s rock (can’t be helped), alt country, post punk, and power pop, with themes that attack off-axis topics with surprising sincerity.

Two singles, “20B” and “Good Luck / Bad Luck,” arrived on May 15 and June 12, 2026 respectively, and the full album followed on July 31, 2026 on all digital streaming platforms, alongside a limited run of 200 vinyl copies available at shows and on Bandcamp.
