Sleaford Mods have released a new six track EP, MORE UK GRIM, out now via Rough Trade.
Recorded at the same time as their acclaimed 2023 album – UK GRIM – the freshly released songs not only continue Andrew Fearn and Jason Williamson’s current dancefloor dominance, but with a mix of insight and wit, outrage and compassion, they critique and celebrate our turbulent times.
Alongside lead single ‘Big Pharma‘, the MORE UK GRIM EP features ‘Under The Rules‘, ‘Old Nottz‘, ‘PO Crazeh‘ and ‘My 18hr Girdle‘, all previously unavailable. “’Old Nottz‘ carries on from tunes like ‘DIY‘, and centres more on local resentment for Sleaford Mods and my own perceived, helpless fall into material conformity,” explains Williamson.
“‘Under The Rules,’ carries some of this sentiment, while the title of ‘18 Hr Girdle‘ was taken from an old 70s advert for women’s girdles and it looks at how male identity, although hard pressed currently under this cloud of Alpha Male dominance, is changing. ‘PO Crazeh‘ is a mesh of absurdist, political one- liners and daft shit, basically – enjoy!”
Available to stream across all services, the MORE UK GRIM EP will also be pressed on a limited edition, pink 12-inch.
