About this deal

Recording with Ali Chant (PJ Harvey, Perfume Genius, Aldous Harding) at his Bristol studio, those prolific demos have been sharpened down into something that speaks to the times we live in, creating a statement of intent that survives on nuance – a record of retro influences, recorded in a modern way, that manages to poke fun at society without punching down from a place of lefty superiority. The Overload is a political record, but in the same way that all great observations of human nature are – a messy, complex, knowingly hypocritical snapshot of our current state of play. With The Monochrome Set – Radio Sessions (Marc Riley BBC 6 Music 2011-2022)Tapete revive the great tradition of releasing radio sessions of great (independent) acts. And what could be more natural than starting the series with a band that represents the indie ethos like few others in following their own unique artistic vision without compromise. The most unique thing about the radio session recordings is that they encompass a mixture of concert and studio. The bands are freer than in studio recordings at the same time more focused than in live performances - gems from the bands repertoire which might not have been played live are often preserved only in the radio sessions.

Side A Sessa - Música / Gloria Scott - Promised Land / Anysia Kym feat MIKE - Real Love / Master Peace - Country Life / Suzi Moon - Dumb & in Luv / Hater - I'm Yours Baby The Overload is a record of great dexterity and curation, the output of a band who were raised on a 00s digital-revolution buffet of wide musical influences. Growing up on US MTV Hip-Hop, minimal 70s No-Wave and sharp-witted British indie, Yard Act benefit from this rich tapestry of musical near-history, using it to create something that feels like more than a trendy pastiche. Your annual almanac of the wildest, weirdest and wonderfulest hits we'll be jamming to all through 2023. If this crop of Counter Culturists are anything to go by it's going to be one hell of a year. Buy one for yourself, buy one for your nan, buy one for your milkman, buy one for his hamster, there's something for everyone on here.
