Our Take

Yard Act's debut album, "The Overload," is a gloriously chaotic exploration of modern life set to a backdrop of infectious post-punk grooves. From the moment the needle hits the coloured vinyl, you're transported into a world where social commentary meets dance floor anthems.

Lead vocalist James Smith's witty and sharp lyricism cuts through the noise, delivering biting critiques of societal norms with a cheeky grin and a dose of dry wit. Tracks like "Rich King Rat" and "Dark Days" exude a swaggering confidence, while "The Trapper's Pelts" takes a more introspective turn, showcasing the band's versatility.

Musically, Yard Act draws inspiration from the likes of The Fall and LCD Soundsystem, blending angular guitars with pulsating basslines and propulsive drumming to create a sound that's both familiar and exhilaratingly fresh. The production, overseen by Tom Hi-Fi, is crisp and dynamic, allowing each instrument to shine while still maintaining a raw, live energy.

Overall, "The Overload" is a bold statement from a band unafraid to push boundaries and challenge the status quo. Yard Act have crafted an album that's equal parts thought-provoking and riotous, a testament to their undeniable talent and irrepressible charm. So grab a pint, put on your dancing shoes, and dive headfirst into the madness that is Yard Act. Happy listening, you cheeky monkeys.
