More about: Yard Act

Yard Act - one of our Ones To Watch for 2021 - have released a brand new single. 'Dark Days' is a further taste of this Leeds band's acerbic krautrock. They've announced some live shows for a mini UK tour today too.

This is the fourth release from the band - reportedly the last before Yard Act begin to work on their album. "None of those songs" will be on it, they say. 'Dark Days' is the A-Side to recently-released B-side 'Peanuts'.

It's a post-acpocalyptic song, according to frontman James Smith: "Despite all the advances humanity has made, the threat of devolution feels increasingly possible in the modern world, and on my bad days when I’m spiralling I can’t help but get trapped in my own head envisioning this post apocalyptic future we’re seemingly headed toward."
