The
Lottery
Winners
have
announced
their
forthcoming
new
album
‘Anxiety
Replacement
Therapy’,
out
on
28th
April
on
Modern
Sky
Recordings,
which
will
feature
collaborations
with
Boy
George,
Frank
Turner,
and
Shaun
Ryder.
A
mammoth
step
forward,
‘Anxiety
Replacement
Therapy’
is
on
one
level
a
set
of
10
absolute
anthems
(and
three
interludes
from
a
mystery
narrator).
These
are
mass
singalongs
in
waiting
from
a
band
who’ve
specialised
in
bringing
people
together
over
their
previous
two
albums.
Scratch
the
surface,
however,
and
there’s
a
world
of
empowerment
and
defiance,
tackling
subjects
such
as
austerity,
as
well
as
of
course,
anxiety,
mental
health
and
its
medications,
and
ADHD.
It
helps
that
these
messages
come
wrapped
with
some
of
the
best
choruses
you’re
likely
to
hear
all
year.
“Each
of
the
albums
in
my
collection
are
a
self-help
tape
for
me,”
explains
singer
Thom
Rylance.
“If
I
listen
to
Paul
Simon’s
Graceland,
it’s
because
I
know
it’ll
put
me
in
a
good
mood.
If
I
play
The
Queen
Is
Dead
by
The
Smiths,
it’s
because
I
want
to
embrace
feeling
sad.
We
wanted
to
present
‘Anxiety
Replacement
Therapy’
as
a
self-help
tape
for
anyone
playing
it.”
The
album
features
guest
spots
with
their
friend
and
previous
collaborator
Frank
Turner
on
the
moving
and
stirring
‘Letter
To
Myself’
,
as
well
as
Boy
George
who
puts
in
a
bravura
performance
on
the
summery
‘Let
Me
Down’
which
recalls
the
emotional
intensity
of
his
work
with
Culture
Club,
and
Shaun
Ryder
who
brings
his
freewheeling
brilliance
on
the
already
incisive
austerity
anthem
‘Money’,
reprising
his
iconic
“Call
the
cops!”
refrain
from
Happy
Mondays’
1990
classic
‘Step
On’.
