Yard Act play live from the Maida Vale Studios

Steve welcomes Yard Act to play live from the Maida Vale Studios. Plus, there is the first play of new music from Big Truck.

Yard Act play live for Steve from the Maida Vale Studios in support of their new album You’re Gonna Need A Little Music. The album, which is their third release, came out on Friday via Island Records and was recorded between the band’s hometown of Leeds and in Los Angeles with producer Justin Meldal-Johnsen. They chat with Steve about the album and the pressures of following up the band’s UK Top 5 charting album Where’s My Utopia? in 2024, and their Mercury Prize-nominated 2022 debut, The Overload.

Produced by BBC Audio for BBC Radio 6 Music.
