Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded primarily in Steve Mackey's London studio, the notoriously abrasive Nottingham duo makes their Rough Trade debut. The album relies on Andrew Fearn's minimalist, brutally repetitive bass-and-drum loops to soundtrack Jason Williamson's fiercely sarcastic, spoken-word rants about working-class depression and Brexit-era political rot. It acts as a hilariously bleak, hyper-relevant critique of modern British life.
