Sleaford Mods: Spare Ribs (Vinyl LP)

Poised to blow the cobwebs off life and unleash some much-needed wit and charm upon us, Sleaford Mods have announced the release of their astonishing 6th studio album, entitled Spare Ribs, out via Rough Trade

It features Amy Taylor of Melbourne punks Amyl and the Sniffers and the British newcomer Billy Nomates, finds the duo charged with ire at the UK Government's sense of entitlement, epitomized by its devil-may-care approach to the coronavirus crisis. Spare Ribs is the sound of a band so sure of their own sonic terrain that they can now explore its outer regions.

The album's title, Jason says, emerged from “the idea of the amount of people that died from the first wave of coronavirus; human lives are always expendable to the elites… We're in a constant state of being spare ribs." Yet Sleaford Mods are an essential part of Britain's musical anatomy.
