Yard Act
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
What do you do when everything you’ve ever wanted suddenly lands in your lap, but the questions still keep on coming? Since first steering their golden Rover into swift public acclaim back in 2020, Leeds quartet Yard Act has become one of the great indie success stories of the decade so far. Along the way, they’ve ticked off milestones ranging from a Number Two chart placing and Mercury Prize nomination for debut album The Overload to a co-sign from Elton John, who joined the band to guest on a string-laden reworking of album closer ‘100% Endurance’.
Yet, whilst the band’s trajectory continuously shot upwards, vocalist James Smith and his wife had also welcomed a son. And it’s this dueling sense of responsibility and ambition, guilt, love, drive, and everything in between that forms the narrative backbone of the brilliantly exploratory second album, Where’s My Utopia. Written in snapshots of time between a relentless touring schedule and produced jointly by the band and Gorillaz’ Remi Kabaka Jr, the quartet’s second act is a giant leap forward into broad and playful new sonic waters.
