For Yard Act’s 2022 debut, The Overload, the quartet chiseled flamboyant caricatures of British life and portrayed their flawed country with an abrasive, punishing tone. “The knotty roots of a shameful past will never let it be,” rapped James Smith in “Land of the Blind.” Now on their third album, You’re Gonna Need a Little Music, they resuscitate garage rock and Britpop, throwing in pompous brass-band breaks and groovy, feel-good pop hooks for an uplifting album that’s something of a let-down. 0.0You're Gonna Need a Little Music sounds so indebted to a lineage of great British alt-rock bands that it’s easy to forget what made this British alt-rock band special in the first place. “Talky Talky People” embodies a Blur-like playfulness, with all four members harmonizing over lively percussion and easygoing rock guitars.
