Release Date: 16/01/26
Sleaford Mods return with The Demise Of Planet X, their most expansive and ambitious album to date. Andrew Fearn and Jason Williamson broaden their palette with a rare guest appearance from former Life Without Buildings frontwoman Sue Tompkins, and collaborations with Aldous Harding, soul singer Liam Bailey, and grime MC Snowy, the latter two from the band’s hometown of Nottingham. Actress Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones, Wednesday, Severance) features on the single The Good Life alongside Midlands duo Big Special, with a video directed by filmmaker Ben Wheatley. Boasting the duo’s most varied and expressive musical approach so far, The Demise Of Planet X charts, critiques and satirises our times, offering a cathartic surge of energy that pushes back against encroaching cultural darkness. Contemplating the world fading not with a bang but in a rising tide of mundanity, the record strikes with vivid sonics, acerbic words, enveloping atmospheres and engaging wit across 13 tracks designed to move hearts, minds and feet. “‘The Demise Of Planet X’ represents a life lived under immense uncertainty, shaped by mass trauma,” says frontman Jason Williamson. “We’re really happy with ‘The Demise Of Planet X’. The music and ideas are really fresh and in your face, but it pays to put your glasses on to look at the ingredients.” Tracklist: 1. The Good Life (feat. Gwendoline Christie & Big Special) 2. Double Diamond 3. Elitest G.O.A.T. (feat. Aldous Harding) 4. Megaton 5. No Touch (feat. Sue Tompkins) 6. Bad Santa 7. The Demise Of Planet X 8. Don Draper 9. Gina Was 10. Shoving the Images 11. Flood the Zone (feat. Liam Bailey) 12. Kill List (feat. Snowy) 13. The Unwrap
