Yard Act spoke about their second album in an interview with NME earlier this year, with frontman James Smith saying it concerns “getting everything you ever wanted and realising that the misery and problems still exist all the same”.
He added: “It’s an album about being away from my family and being in a professional band for a job – which sounds like really boring subject matter, doesn’t it?”
Speaking to NME at Reading Festival 2023 last month, the band gave an update on the album, confirming that it has been completed.
“It’s got a gospel choir, string section, flutes, everything on it. It’s finished,” Smith said.
Asked when a next single could be released, he added: “I believe some time between the beginning of September and the end of next summer. Maybe October.”
