Sleaford Mods - Sleaford Mods EP Vinyl Record

Sleaford Mods’ 2018 self-titled EP is the band’s first new music since 2017’s top 15 album "English Tapas." The EP was recorded in Spring 2018 in Nottingham, and features five new tracks including lead track "Stick in a Five and Go.” Vocalist Jason Williamson says about the new songs “the lead tracks are mostly full of violent tendencies that only transpire through imagination. People are powerless under the political monster and the intense anger and frustration morphs into illusions of attacking each other through the bravado of social media, depression and paranoia.”

The tone of "Sleaford Mods" is typically caustic, and while there's a bit more variation in the instrumentation than usual it's still very much what you'd expect from the duo. "Stick in a Five and Go" is a barnstorming first track in its hilarious take on the Twitter-fuelled revenge story. With an electronic motorik beat and a slinky bassline the song follows Jason Williamson up the M1, dressed as a postie, to try and entice 'some idiot I don't know from Leeds' out for an altercation. It's the most ridiculous moment of the record, but becomes darker as the repeated refrain of 'sign for it, mate' stops being liltingly comedic and becomes more forceful and sneering; a physical entreaty to take responsibility for one's actions.
