Songs
created
in
the
shadow
of
terror
and
loss,
but
that
crackle
and
pop
with
defiance
Fear
Fear
is
a
record
made
for
agitating
and
dancing,
for
heart
and
soul,
for
here,
now
and
tomorrow.
It’s
a
record
that
explores
juxtaposition;
that
of
life
and
death,
acceptance
and
isolation,
environment
and
humanity,
hope
and
despair,
the
real
world
and
the
digital
world.
That
top
to
bottom
rigour,
the
complete
vision
is
what
makes
the
second
album
from
Working
Men’s
Club
such
a
stunning
and
unique
achievement.
Their
critically
acclaimed
self-titled
debut
album,
released
in
summer
2020,
was
the
sound
of
singer
and
songwriter
Syd
Minsky-Sargeant
processing
a
teenage
life
in
Todmorden
in
the
Upper
Calder
Valley.
He
was
16
when
he
wrote
some
of
those
songs,
now
20,
he
had
to
get
up
and
out
of
the
Valley.
“The
first
album
was
mostly
a
personal
documentation
lyrically,
this
is
a
blur
between
personal
and
a
third-person
perspective
of
what
was
going
on.”
Fear
Fear
documents
the
last
two
years.
Yes,
there
is
bleakness
–
but
there
is
also
hope
and
empathy.
“I
like
the
contrast
of
it
being
happy,
uplifting
music
and
really
dark
lyrics.
It’s
not
a
minimal
record,
certainly
compared
to
the
first
one.
That’s
because
there’s
been
a
lot
more
going
on
that
needed
to
be
said.”
Making
the
busy
feel
finessed
and
the
dreadful
feel
magical
–
‘Fear
Fear’
manages
those
feats,
and
then
some.
Or,
as
Syd
Minksy-Sargeant
puts
it:
“We
just
set
out
to
make
the
best-sounding
album
we
could.”Fear
Fear
was
produced
by
Ross
Orton
(Arctic
Monkeys,
MIA,
Tricky)
and
recorded
at
Orton’s
studio
in
Sheffield.
