Not just a new logo – thanks Drew Millward – on this new episode of The James McMahon Music Podcast. Oh no! This time round I’m speaking to James Smith, singer – or should that be speaker – in Leeds based mumble punks Yard Act.
That band might just have made my favourite album of 2022 so far. The record is called The Overload. It’s their debut. It got to number 2 in the actual UK pop charts, and as I wrote on my Substack but a month ago – no really, you should subscribe! – it’s a record that speaks to me about the things I know intuitively. Yorkshire, the British working class… and so, over the course of an hour - one of this podcast’s longest episodes to date - I talk to James about the writing of album two, being a decade long overnight success, building a life, the weirdness of ageing… oh lots of things. But mainly we use the podcast as an excuse to try and get Daniel Kitson to come for tea. If you're reading this Daniel, give us a sign.
