They deliver social commentary with a toothy grin over funky arrangements that will have the stiffest stiff dancing in their seats. “‘Petroleum’ lives on the second half of Where’s My Utopia?, which simultaneously contains some of Yard Act’s most grimly real and fantastically optimistic narratives yet. It was written after a touring nadir” recalls frontman James Smith in a press release. Yard Act has paved a unique one-way street into our hearts at their latest cements Where’s My Utopia? as one of the most anticipated albums of 2024.
“Petroleum” is a danceable tune lined with a funky bassline and ominous vocals that juxtapose the minimal arrangement. Check out the video for Yard Act’s latest offering and be on the lookout for Where’s My Utopia? on March 1.
