Getting screamed at with a finger in the face can be off-putting, especially if it goes on too long. That said, we live in an off-putting world and it’s a great thing to have Sleaford Mods here to call us out on our ills

As dysfunction becomes more apparent in the U.K. and beyond, Sleaford Mods may not offer any easy answers, but musically at least, they're more committed to progress than the society around them

If Williamson is more vulnerable than ever, Fearn is more inventive. The record bristles with details, from No Touch’s vocoder and Megaton’s whomping beat to the Wu-Tang-style wind chimes and tense guitar of Bad Santa

There are sweet moments on The Demise Of Planet X and a more delicate musical palette, but the overwhelming mood is one of weariness; with the state of the world and the tedious, endless gotchas. Print edition only

Under The Radar
Continues their mission to hold a mirror up to broken Britain in the cold light of day, revealing the sagging eyes, manky teeth, the spot-ridden skin, and just how shit everything is

‘The Demise Of Planet X’ offers no solutions and no release. It simply documents a present condition defined by repetition, consumption, and exhaustion. Rather than escalating, it holds its ground, making it one of Sleaford Mods’ most coherent and controlled releases to date. The apocalypse here isn’t coming. It has already happened, and everyone is still scrolling

Pitchfork
The UK duo continues to rail against austerity and oppression on its 13th record. At worst, the album lapses into vague gesturing; at best, it turns diatribes into dialogues with guest vocalists
