Following on from their acclaimed debut album ‘The Overload’ last year, Yard Act are back with new single ‘The Trenchcoat Museum’ on Wednesday!

Here it is! I wasn’t expecting it to be an 8-minute epic:

 

I do quite like the song, but I haven't come back to it much with its length - I find that the second half drags a little.

 

Anyway, a remix from the legendary Arthur Baker is out today!

 

I absolutely love this, and the track length is a must IMO- doesn't overstay it's welcome. It reminds me of like a hybrid between Talking Heads and LCD Soundsystem.

 

'The longer the cut, the tougher you are

And mine drags along the floor' !!

I generally disliked everything I'd heard by Yard Act so had very little expectation for this but it's one of the most instantly brilliant songs released this year.

Second album "Where's My Utopia?" is out on March 1st next year, with brilliant new single 'Dream Job' releasing yesterday! It's been very, very instant for me - quite a different direction but it works well.

1. An Illusion

2. We Make Hits

3. Down by the Stream

4. The Undertow

5. Dream Job

6. Fizzy Fish

‘We Make Hits’ is out on Monday.

 

I’m not a massive fan of ‘Petroleum’ compared to the lead single, but perhaps it’ll grow with the album release.

Oh this is very very good! More like this on the album I hope :cheer:

 

'When The Laughter Stops' with Katy J Pearson is out tomorrow.

'Dream Job' has been added to the Radio 1 playlist today! About time.
