Daily noise that works faster than any stimulant
26 October 2023
British indie rockers YARD ACT shot to the top like a
comet last year with their ace debut LP The Overload.
Last summer they came back with a high-caliber, stand-alone single,
named The Trench Coat Museum. A harbinger for album number two.
WHERE’S MY UTOPIA shows up on 1 March 2024. Pre-order info here.
First single DREAM JOB is an awesome funky-bass-driven earworm
with frontman James Smith telling about his dream post-Brex-shit job.
Smith: “In part, I was scrutinizing and mocking myself for being a moaning ungrateful little brat, whilst also trying to address how the music industry is this rather uncontrollable beast that hurtles forward unthinkingly and every single person involved in it plays their part. Myself included, obviously. As with pretty much everything else going through my head last year, trying to find the right time to articulate the complexity of emotions I was feeling and the severity to which I was feeling them couldn’t be found — or accommodated, so instead I tried to capture it in a pop song that lasts less than three minutes once the fog had cleared a bit. It’s good and bad. I’m still glad that everything that happened to me happened.”
