Yard Act announce debut album with title-track "The Overload"
Leeds' Yard Act have announced their forthcoming debut album The Overload, and have released the title-track as the first single.
"The Overload" is the opening track from the band's debut album of the same name, and marks their first new release since their February debut EP Dark Days.
Lead vocalist James Smith says of the new single, ""The Overload" serves as an overture to the album. It’s written from the perspective of someone sitting in a pub overhearing snippets of all these different conversations from different characters and acting as a vessel, a medium even, for their own thoughts and opinions. That cut and paste approach means it’s hard to decipher where one person’s musings end and another’s statement begins, and that feels like a fairer representation of why human existence is at the point it is right now. Society doesn't prevail because of the absolute, it struggles on in spite of it. It’s our ability to compromise which helps us to coexist."
