Sleaford Mods Release 'The Demise of Planet X' With Expanded Palette and Notable Guests

Overview

• The Nottingham duo issued the album on January 16 via Rough Trade, their first studio release in three years.
• Jason Williamson’s terse spoken-word barrage over Andrew Fearn’s driving electronics remains the record’s core framework.
• Fearn serves as co-producer, with primary recording at JT Soar in Nottingham and additional sessions at Abbey Road and Invada.
• Guest features include Gwendoline Christie on “The Good Life,” Sue Tompkins on “No Touch,” and Aldous Harding on “Elitist G.O.A.T.”
• Williamson cites current traumas and politics—including October 7, “the genocide,” a new wave of nationalism, and unresolved COVID issues—as lyrical fuel.
