"The Yardlets wanted to capture what the villains in Mad Max and the replicants of Blade Runner would sound like if they started a band, and then threw a dash of 80s gated reverb on everything." - Indie 88: Album Premiere
"Heavy on the fuzz and feedback, light on the filler, the new single delivers distorted vocals atop whirling guitars that come across like the  soundtrack to a hallucination." - Exclaim: Single Premiere
Yardlets are the Montreal duo of Sam Goldberg Jr. (Broken Social Scene/Hawaii/Kandle) and Jeff Edwards (Shot While Hunting), who will release their sophomore album, Good Hangs May 12 on Hobo Slang. A collection of revved up, scuzzed out, late-night, psychedelic blasts recorded at Break Glass Studios with Jace Lasek (Besnard Lakes) engineering and mixing, and Tim Fletcher (The Stills) on bass, David Deias (Mystic Motorcycles) on drums.“The main idea behind Yardlets was to actually work around the limitations of my old skateboard buddy Jeff,” says Sam Goldberg Jr., “who didn’t actually know how to play guitar when we started. On a lot of the songs, when we started writing, I would say, ‘play one note. Or maybe two.’ First single, “Baby Deer”, for example, there is just one note being played the whole way through.” That provided the launching point for Yardlets – creating through minimalism. 
Most importantly for Goldberg though, along with getting to make record with an old friend, is that Jeff is a fantastic singer. Yardlets digitally released their debut album, Middle Ages, in 2012, a lo-fi collection, recorded directly into a laptop, with Sebastien Grainger (Death From Above 1979) playing drums on top of it. Good Hangs is the next logical step forward, and Yardlets will support the album with Canadian dates in May, with U.S. dates in the works for later in the year.
