Where's My Utopia? - Tumblr Posts
Gonna need to do a review of Yard Act's new album "Where's My Utopia?" at some point before I just finished listening to it and it was fucking Magnificent.
"Where's My Utopia?"- Yard Act (2024)
Teased towards by their 2023 single "The Trench coat Museum", Released on Friday the 1st of March 2024, Yard Act's "Where's My Utopia?" This LP arguably Shits on their 2021 LP "The Overload", Taking a Massive jump from their Spoken-Word Post Punk, Politically-Fuelled songs to not only Keeping these previous aspects, but also Adding on So much more, such as their Funky Pop/New Wave Influences, their ambitious, uplifting storytelling, mixed with Heartfelt messages about Life Issues and Moving on from Past Mistakes, focusing on pushing on to a Bettered Future.
It's hard picking what are the Best songs on the LP, but I would say the most notable tracks on this LP are ones such as "We Make Hits" "Dream Job" and the first half of "An Illusion" which all have more Positive Focuses in their songs. While tracks such as "When the Laughter Stops" "Down by the Stream" and "Grifters Grief" have more Pessimistic views towards them, yet with Funky baselines in the background and New Wave inspired instrumentals, making for a Fantastic Mix, and managing to create a kind of sound in music that I have Never heard from another artist before.
And finally, with tracks such as "The Undertow" "Blackpool Illuminations" and "The Vineyard of the North" tying the album together with their Mellow Monotone, Poetic spoken-word tracks, laced with a foreign feeling of nostalgia, truly making this one of the Greatest albums of the Year so far.
In Short; Yard Act have once again Out-Done themselves, and we Fucking love them for it.
