Dark Days / Peanuts

Rough Trade Shops tip and big prospect for 2021. Leeds outfit Yard Act release their second 7” “Dark Days / Peanuts” via their own label, Zen F.C. The first 7" sold out instantly and easy to see why. Dark Days is another absolute gem with a locked in groove and scratching and itching guitar work. It has the feel of a classic 1979 post punk single that is part The Fall, part Sleaford Mods and part Andy Gill of Gang of Four's guitar work. The flip Peanuts is more laid back but just as essential and adds a twist of Half Man Half Biscuit. Bring on the album.
