There
is
an
air
of
undeniable
momentum
around
Yard
Act,
a
four-piece
from
Leeds.
Barely
18
months
old,
on
their
debut
headlining
tour
of
the
UK,
they’ve
just
won
a
prize,
the
Anchor,
at
a
Dutch
music
festival,
judged
by
Tony
Visconti
among
others.
BBC
6
Music
have
been
hammering
their
songs
for
months.
Most
of
this
tour
is
sold
out,
as
are
swathes
of
their
next
jaunt,
around
larger
venues,
this
coming
February.
Pulling
off
a
debut
album
in
a
pandemic
isn’t
easy,
but
somehow,
Yard
Act
have
made
it
work.
Recording
with
Ali
Chant
(PJ
Harvey,
Perfume
Genius,
Aldous
Harding)
at
his
Bristol
studio,
those
prolific
demos
have
been
sharpened
down
into
something
that
speaks
to
the
times
we
live
in,
creating
a
statement
of
intent
that
survives
on
nuance
–
a
record
of
retro
influences,
recorded
in
a
modern
way,
that
manages
to
poke
fun
at
society
without
punching
down
from
a
place
of
lefty
superiority.
‘The
Overload’
is
a
political
record,
but
in
the
same
way
that
all
great
observations
of
human
nature
are
–
a
messy,
complex,
knowingly
hypocritical
snapshot
of
our
current
state
of
play.
