Recorded between Leeds and Los Angeles with producer Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Nine Inch Nails, Beck, St. Vincent), <em>You\u2019re Gonna Need A Little Music<\/em> is the first album the group recorded together, in-person. \u201cThe first two records were both laptop records essentially,\u201d says frontman James Smith.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Overload<\/em> was written with bassist Ryan Needham before the band had fully formed, and its follow-up, <em>Where\u2019s My Utopia?<\/em>, was carved out in snatches of time on tour buses and hotel rooms. This time around, the group were able to have an \u201cuninterrupted five month period\u201d of creativity, crafting \u201c40 or 50 songs\u201d in that time. \u201cIt felt like freedom,\u201d says Smith. \u201cIt felt like everything I\u2019d wanted from being in a band.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The sleazy indie rock of \u201cRedeemer\u201d gives fans a taste of what\u2019s to come on the record. \u201c\u2019I\u2019ll smash my head in private against the wall \/ Denial thrives in hostile climates \/ Flat out lies climb chaos spires \/ As Rapunzel lets down your tyres,\u201d Smith sings.\n<\/p>\n<p>On that note, he shared what he believes the record captures: \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\n<\/p>\n<p>The band is headed out on a North American tour this summer including stops throughout the West Coast, East Coast, and Canada. They will also make several festival appearances across Europe in June and embark on an extensive UK and EU tour in the fall.\n<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/yardact.lnk.to\/redeemerWE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Listen to Yard Act\u2019s \u201cYou\u2019re Gonna Need A Little Music\u201d here.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<!--US \/ UK English--><\/p>\n<p><!--mvp-post-tags--><\/p><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.udiscovermusic.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leeds quartet Yard Act have announced their new album, You\u2019re Gonna Need A Little Music, out July 17th via Republic Records.
