Yorktown Heights is the debut solo album by Feeder frontman Grant Nicholas. The album was released on 11 August 2014 in the United Kingdom and recorded during 2013, being a year after Nicholas announced at Feeder's final show of 2012 at the Brixton Academy that the band would be taking a break. It was with the debut play of "Soul Mates" on the BBC Radio 2 show The Dermot O'Leary Show on 31 May 2014, that Grant's solo career made its first announcement.
