Released last Friday, ‘These Four Walls’ is the 'isolation anthem they never knew they had written' from Bristol-based melancholic pop duo Yard Arms, Noah Villeneuve and Billy Golding.
What began as a solo coastal writing trip in 2019 for lyricist and frontman Villeneuve, has now transformed into a fist pumping indie three minutes that perfectly narrates the lockdown life we’ve been trapped in since March.
Initially the song was an avidly honest commentary of longing for the ‘honeymoon periods’ in life and dealing with our internal voices that keep us thinking the grass is always greener. The timely lyrical themes began to take on a whole new meaning as the world around us began to shut its doors due to the coronavirus.
“Musically it’s reminiscent of mid 00s shimmering indie combined with a more vehement emo instrumentation, think if Biffy started a super group with Interpol and Death Cab For Cutie", state the duo.
The track precedes third EP 'Sanctuary Lines', due for release on June 26.
