We’ve got the fabulously outspoken Sleaford Mods on the cover of this month’s Electronic Sound. The new Sleaford Mods album, ‘UK Grim’, finds frontman Jason Williamson reaching fresh heights of rage at the world around him. His cohort Andrew Fearn is on fire too, creating an intense musical backdrop of barbed electronics and driving beats. The pair talk about the album in our hugely entertaining interview with them, which also takes in subjects ranging from free market capitalism to rockery mantelpieces by way of The Haçienda, King Kong and TikTok. Or “dogshit” as Jason calls the popular social media platform. Oh yes, we had better warn you there’s a spectacular amount of swearing in the Sleaford Mods article.

Right from their 1989 debut single, the gently acidic and effortlessly hypnotic ‘Chime’, Phil and Paul Hartnoll demonstrated a natural talent for matching shiny beats with shimmering melodies. So while the pair were viewed as leading lights of the rapidly expanding UK rave scene, the widescreen wonder of their early records put them in a totally different league to most of the hands-in-the-air brigade. Can you feel it? Oh yes. With bells on.
