The Overload, Yard Act's breakout 2022 debut album, catapulted the Leeds quartet to fame, earning a Mercury Prize nomination, a #2 debut on the British charts and nods from Hayley Williams, Fugazi, and Beck himself. Elton John even jumped on the bandwagon, joining them on a string-laden reworking of the album closer "100% Endurance."
In March this year, Yard Act released their second album 'Where's My Utopia' on Island Records. Written in snapshots of time between a relentless touring schedule, and produced jointly by the band and Gorillazโ Remi Kabaka Jr, the quartetโs second act is a giant leap forward into broad and playful new sonic waters. Influenced by Fela Kuti, Ennio Moricone, and Spillerโs โ00s pop smash 'Groovejet,' the album's celebratory soundscape delves deeper into personal themes, blending profound reflections with humor and illustrating the complexities of human existence through a cheeky, Promethean narrative.
Currently in the midst of an enormous run of shows across Europe and the UK, the band will head to the US and Canada before hitting Aussie shores in November.
