The Numero Groups dive into the deep end of Americas private press continues. Having battled the witches and wizards of Darkscorch, the outlaws of Cosmic Americana, and traveled alongside Ladies From the Canyon and their Lonesome Heroes, its time to take it easy. With pop musics volume knob adjusted for deflation in the early 70s, softness begat smoothness.

Sometimes classified as West Coast and, later, Yacht Rock the compass points of our Private Yacht expedition are the blue-eyed harmonies of Hall and Oates, the cocaine-dusted Fender Rhodes of Michael McDonald, and the combover strums of James Taylor.

An album for both relaxation and reflection, where listeners can enjoy the present, a cool breeze, and a taste of the good life.
