Sleaford Mods - The Demise Of Planet X

And they thought things were bad when they started out.

Who better to soundtrack the seemingly inevitable erosion of the UK’s spirit than Sleaford Mods?

The Demise Of Planet X sees Jason Williamson and Andrew Fearn confronting grim times by sharpening, rather than dulling, their creative edge.

Their ninth album together features more guests, textures and exposed vulnerability than any previous record, slightly nudging them into unfamiliar but fertile terrain.

‘The Good Life’ immediately stakes out that restlessness, with Gwendoline Christie’s terrifying laugh announcing the unease of life and ushering in a three-character psychodrama played out within a single psyche: Williamson’s own.

Big Special’s warm chorus offers a vision of happiness and calm while the lyricist’s trademark fast-paced fury circles it like a saboteur.
