Yard Act<\/a> are back to announce their third album, You\u2019re Gonna Need a Little Music, <\/em>out on July 17th via Republic Records. They\u2019ve also shared the lead single, \u201cRedeemer.\u201d<\/p>\n The post-punk band\u2019s new album follows 2024\u2019s\u00a0Where\u2019s My Utopia?<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and was produced by Justin Meldal-Johnson. The quartet notes in a press release that\u00a0You\u2019re Gonna Need a Little Music\u00a0<\/em>is the first album that they made \u201cas a live band in the same room.\u201d The project features a different lyrical focus from vocalist James Smith, using a more \u201cimpressionistic\u201d and observational angle: \u00a0\u201cI think the album is about multiple realities and how individualism has led us, in the modern world, to question if there even is a shared reality anymore because everyone just believes what they want now,\u201d Smith said.<\/p>\n Get Yard Act Tickets Here<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cRedeemer\u201d definitely feels more outwardly dark than some of Yard Act\u2019s prior offerings, with yelped vocals and pounding, primal drumming from Jay Russell. Smith takes on the anxious perspective of someone fed up with the world but unable to escape it. \u201cRedeemer! You stole the sun\/ Now your orbit is the bullshit of the damage done,\u201d he barks in the chorus; eventually, his cry of \u201cRedeemer\u201d is reduced to a croak in the final chorus.
