This week we're talking to James Smith of UK band Yard Act who just released their third album, You're Gonna Need A Little Music. We talk about how it differs from their first two and it's creation which began in Leeds and ended in Los Angeles. Other topics of conversation: Leeds' indie and alternative music history and still fertile music scene, and why the band have resisted moving to London. Plus: James tells us how he recently got into painting, whose the best cook in Yard Act and lots more. Yard Act tour dates are here. -- Credits: Hosted & produced by Bill Pearis Mixed and mastered by Nick Gray Theme music by Michael Silverstein photo: Mackai Sharp
