Sleaford
Mods
are
pleased
to
announce
their
new
album
‘UK
GRIM’
released
through
Rough
Trade
Records
on
March
10,
2023
As
the
Nottingham
duo's
most
dancefloor
friendly
release
to
date,
UK
GRIM
is
an
urgent
and
sage-like
look
at
life,
living
and
the
gritty
reality
of
our
era.
The
video
for
lead
track
‘UK
GRIM’
is
directed
by
British
Collage
Artist
and
Satirist
Cold
War
Steve,
who
has
created
a
series
of
original
savage
yet
satirical
artworks
for
the
collaboration.
This
is
his
debut
music
video
and
debut
animation
having
previously
illustrated
covers
for
Time
Magazine
&
The
New
Statesman.
Truly
the
sound
of
now,
not
only
in
terms
of
the
ideas
and
issues
Jason
Williamson's
strong
words
invoke,
but
also
thanks
to
the
innovative
and
immersive
production
of
Andrew
Fearn,
which
on
this
release
has
seen
the
pair
collaborate
on
songs
with
Jane's
Addiction's
creative
powerhouse,
Perry
Farrell
and
Dave
Navarro,
and
with
Florence
Shaw,
the
distinct
and
vital
voice
at
the
heart
of
British
band
Dry
Cleaning.
Speaking
of
the
forces
that
have
triggered
the
poetic
protest
at
the
heart
of
this
record,
as
with
their
musical
forebears
like
The
Clash
or
The
Jam,
Sleaford
Mods
reveal
that
the
outrage
they
feel
is
underscored
by
love
for
the
people
and
places
around
them,
making
‘UK
GRIM’
as
much
a
celebration
of
individuals
and
the
idealists
as
it
is
an
attack
on
ruling
classes
who
pursue
their
own
self-serving
agendas
with
increasing
desperation.
“Maybe
we
are
proud
of
the
country.
Maybe
we
are
proud
to
be
English,”
explains
Williamson.
“Maybe
I’m
proud
of
the
horrible
grey
streets
and
the
shit
weather
and
the
stupid
fashions
I
find
myself
investing
in.
It’s
just
that
the
English
we’re
proud
of
being
is
absolutely
nothing
like
the
English
the
authorities
want
to
try
and
promote.”
Angry
yet
artful,
innovative
yet
possessing
an
instinctual
energy
that
irresistibly
moves
bodies
and
minds,
‘UK
GRIM’
is
an
erudite
electronic
vision
that
truly
engages
with
times
that
have
been
anything
but
'precedented'.
