A new album from Sleaford Mods is coming.

Hurrah!

It’s been a while.

In true amateurish fashion, the mailing list fails to provide a release date. November sounds about right.

Ahead of the release, there’s the usual first drop from the record - The Good Life. Dark beats, potty-mouth lyrics and a pantomime video to match.

“You wear crap clothes like Jasper Carrott…”

Joining Sleaford Mods on this track is Gwendoline Christie. They always seem to have the best collabs: Billy Nomates, Amy Taylor from Amyl and the Sniffers, Dry Cleaning, Orbital, Perry Farrell.

Decent.

There’s some Rock City dates coming up as well. They’re going to be a bit bonkers, right?

Probably my fave Albarn album. I love the London Music Hall head nod, the bass, the random off beat drumming. A true English melting pot.

Yer man Damon should be spoken of in decades to come as one of the greats of English songwriting. I love it that he has the balls to do what the fuck he wants, when the mood suits. It’s helped here, obvs, that he is backed by a stellar cast.
