Zwei Jahre nach „Spare Ribs“ veröffentlicht das britische Duo Sleaford Mods am 10.03.23 das neue Album mit dem bezeichnenden Titel „UK Grim“ auf Rough Trade. Im vorab veröffentlichten Titelstück, zu dem jüngst ein Video veröffentlicht wurde, in dem sich die ganze Riege der “St. George’s Flag Twats” von David Cameron und Boris Johnson über Nigel Ferrage bis zu Jacob Ree-Moog findet, heißt es ganz passend: „In England nobody can hear you scream“. Das Album gibt es als Download, CD und im schwarzen oder weißen Vinyl.
„Sleaford Mods will return in 2023 with new album UK GRIM. Throughout their music the duo’s poetic protest and electronic resistance has seen them consistency chart and call out their times with an eloquence and attitude that has made them one of the most urgent and unique voices in modern music. Hailed by the likes of Liam Gallagher, Seth Myers, Iggy Pop, Amyl & The Sniffers and a legion of loyal fans whose devotion for the band would rival most sports supporters.
Continuing this sonic vocation on their new album, Jason Williamson and Andrew Fearn’s creative evolution now finds them capturing the atmosphere of their era too. Though no strangers to the dancefloor, the minimal yet immersive beats and grooves of UK GRIM’s tracks – which include collaborations with Dry Cleaning’s Florence Shaw and Jane’s Addiction’s Perry Farrell and Dave Navarro among them – add a new, physical dimension to Sleaford Mod’s sound that makes their words more vital than ever. Music for body AND mind. “
