Bristol-based melancholic pop duo Yard Arms have released their new single, Pirouettes. We asked them the BIG questions . . .
Formed in 2018, Noah Villeneuve and Billy Golding are influenced by classic 80s acts like The Cure and Echo & The Bunnymen and more modern indie acts such as The National, Bleachers and Death Cab For Cutie.
The video for Pirouettes follows the band through their most recent UK run of dates alongside the likes of The Slow Readers Club, Phoxjaw, The Nightmares, and The Inspiral Carpets' Tom Hingley.
