YARD Returns with an Electrifying New Single, ‘Call’: A Sonic Journey into Post-Punk Chaos

Published

on

The electro-noise trio YARD is back to thrill fans and newcomers alike with their latest release, ‘Call’. This Dublin-based band has gained a reputation for delivering high-octane, boundary-pushing performances that meld techno beats with rock, crafting an unmistakable sound that’s both intense and irresistibly catchy. With ‘Call’, YARD raises the bar yet again, solidifying their place in the Irish music scene and hinting at bigger stages to come. Fans will instantly recognize ‘Call’ as pure YARD: raw, aggressive, and full of an electrifying energy that has become the band’s signature.

Following the success of their earlier track ‘Bend’, ‘Call’ marks a new peak for YARD as they hone in on their unique sonic brand. This single plays like a euphoria-laden anthem, packed with post-punk intensity that echoes the energy of iconic bands like Fat Dog, Chalk, and Gilla Band. From the outset, ‘Call’ immerses listeners in an atmospheric blend of pulsing beats and driving guitars, capturing the spirit of YARD’s distinctive sound. And it’s not just the sound that’s bold—YARD’s eerie mascot, Bucketman, continues to add a memorable visual flair that deepens the band’s mystique and keeps fans intrigued.

Lyrically, ‘Call’ ventures into darker territory, exploring the rawness of human reactions under emotional strain. It digs into those unfiltered, often uncomfortable moments of self-reflection, capturing the lingering thoughts of “what if” that replay in the mind long after a confrontation has passed. This emotional undercurrent gives the song a depth that resonates with audiences, as it taps into the familiar experience of revisiting personal moments with regret and reflection. It’s a vulnerable side of YARD that complements the intensity of their sound, showing a versatility that sets them apart from many of their peers.

Musically, ‘Call’ delivers on all fronts, with frenetic beats, powerful vocals, and eerie, hypnotic synth layers that capture listeners in a trance-like state. YARD’s sound is instantly captivating, reminiscent of influences like SUUNS, Death Grips, and Nine Inch Nails. With recent shows at festivals like Eurosonic, The Great Escape, and Primavera Pro 2024, YARD is clearly a band on the rise. ‘Call’ proves once more that YARD is not just another name in the Dublin scene—they’re a force to be reckoned with, leading the charge in a new wave of electronic post-punk that promises to shake up the music world.

The next track, “Balance,” is a fan favorite and for good reason. “Balance” has a bouncy beat that makes listeners want to groove. The record has a Drake feel to it. The catchy hook reels you in immediately. Dmillyyy cleverly sprinkles in some Spanish lyrics, which are a prelude to the third track on the EP. “Q.M. Interludio” follows “Balance.” The Latin Music interlude showcases the versatility that Dmillyyy possesses. The penultimate track, “WYGD,” is a downtempo, love song that is enchanting. The tune has a sample that blends well with the theme of the song. “WYGD” sets up the EP’s closer as “Madness” is another slow jam. “Madness” is the perfect finale.

The EP’s introspective/extrospective take on love provides all listeners with songs that resonate with them. Although each song has its own flavor and unique sound, they still connect and carry a cohesive message. “Cupid Pack is an image painted to describe different emotions that may arise for particular love interests.” Dmillyyy continues: “Sometimes it isn’t that serious and just the feeling that you want to cherish. Sometimes the other’s existence makes you want to question everything and reflect back on your own life. Either way, both parties are living in the moment and letting that lead the way.” Cupid Pack is only the beginning as Dmillyyy has much in store for the year. While waiting for his next masterpiece, be sure to show love to the immaculate EP that is Cupid Pack.
