Apocalypse Wow! Welcome to your soundtrack to the end of world.
Sleaford Mods’ peerless minimalist aggro-electro is natural underground music which has threatened to become zeitgeist-defining for some time now. Now frontman Jason Williamson and backman Andrew Fearns’ vision of underclass exploitation, hope-killing austerity, liberal hypocrisy, grim frustration, tyre-slashing satire, and carnivalesque obscenity feels very on the money indeed, with war and dictatorships now entering their lyrical mix. All the worst people have seized their opportunity and taken charge. Williamson’s take is that the apocalypse has already happened and we’re in smoking wasteland picking through the rubble.
