Dark Days

Limited silver colored vinyl LP pressing. Can it really just be over a year since Yard Act exploded into the national consciousness with their debut EP Dark Days, released via their own Zen FC imprint? Yard Act have gone on to be one of 2022's defining artists with the release of their debut album The Overload, and their rise has been as entertaining as it has been meteoric. And as well as touring the world and smashing sales records, they've still found time to continue Zen FC, releasing acclaimed 7"s from Baba Ali and Benefits. Being the budding record industry moguls that they are, they couldn't bear to see the Dark Days EP languishing out of print. So they commandeered a Danish pressing plant and rudely shoved their way to the front of the queue, picked a new colour (silver in honour of the Overload finishing second in the album charts) and rushed through a repress in time for the summer. And while they were at it, they sorted out a run on the format of the future, cassette. So there you have it: while you're thinking about putting 'The Overload' at the top of your albums of 2022, you can enjoy the EP of 2021 all over again.
