The Edge of the World

by Mekons

The Edge of the World cover art

Pivoting sharply from their abrasive punk rock origins in Leeds, the collective plunged deep into the realms of British folk and American country music. The resulting album is a ragged, highly literate, and distinctly eclectic effort that utilizes fiddles and accordions to explore working-class folklore and anti-capitalist themes.
