Welcoming you into the world of the new album with lead single ‘UK GRIM’, Sleaford Mods are pushing you right off the deep end now. Diving straight into the darkest corners of the record, it’s all getting a bit sinister on ‘Force 10 From Navarone’.

Featuring vocals from Dry Cleaning’s Florence Shaw, the addition of post-punk, poetic spoken word elements feels so wrong it's right next to Sleaford’s classic gobby lyrics. As they move in a slightly more personal wave, merging considerations of depression and mental health with the continued conversation about UK politics; ‘Force 10 From Navarone’ is a perfect example for the openness and nuance to be revealed on the record.

Talking about the track Jason Williamson said;The track is a conversation with myself coming to terms with happiness and whether it is in fact a darker space than my negativity and depression. Coupled with that it explores the myth of activism and inaction of the majority in the UK in the presence of a corrupt government.”

UK GRIM arrives March 10th, dive into the album in our conversation with the band as cover stars for Gigwise issue 7 - in stores Valentines week.
