The Leeds outfit Yard Act return sounding as lively as ever. Showing no signs of slowing down Yard Act announce a new co-produced record with Gorillaz’ Remi Kabaka Jr. Taking notes from Fela Kuti to Ennio Morricone, the band dig into a broader sonic world with Smith’s lyrics front and centre that reach to new heights.
In the wake of this year’s riff-tastic, parklife-esque epic, ‘Trenchcoat Museum’, our ears are salivating at the prospect of a whole new album of creatively virile new material, as Yard Act unveil their sophomore opus, ‘Where’s My Utopia?’
for us, this release has some pretty big shoes to fill, as it’s following in the footsteps of a debut that blasted its way into our top 10 favourite records of 2022! but all signs point towards a group that’s honed its sardonic, groovy post-punk sound whilst expanding into more vibrant & explorative avenues, & we can’t wait to reap the whirlwind.
can they catch lightning in a bottle twice? our money’s on “absolutely they can!”
