SLEAFORD MODS - The Demise of Planet X LP (colour vinyl)

Limited edition neon green marble with glow-in-the-dark sleeve. Black wax also available.

Andrew Fearn and Jason Williamson's most expansive and ambitious release to date, the album features a rare guest appearance from former Life Without Buildings frontwoman Sue Tompkins, plus collaborations with Aldous Harding, soul singer Liam Bailey and grime MC Snowy, the latter two both hailing from band's hometown Nottingham. In her first foray into music, actress Gwendoline Christie (Wednesday/Severance/Game Of Thrones) also joins Midlands band Big Special on the single The Good Life.

"Judging by his on-wax persona, Sleaford Mods vocalist Jason Williamson is the sort of guy you’d cross the street to avoid. He’s a yeller, a brawler, a complainer with a quick fuse, mad about his job and whatever he saw on TV. Although the title of Sleaford Mods’ 13th album, The Demise of Planet X, references a mid-’90s doomsday theory, the environs will be plenty familiar to listeners—in Williamson’s England, apocalypse is a day ending in Y. The Nottingham outfit dramatizes the ravages of austerity and class warfare, distilling elements of punk, rap, and electronica into a chest-thumping fury. Williamson’s pugnacious lyrics are grounded in manual labor and local indignities, but Planet X’s malaise transcends any neighborhood or job site, toeing the line between angst and grievance." - Pitchfork
