Sleaford Mods frontman Jason Williamson has said 'the damage has already been done' after the pair released a new song criticising the state of life in the UK. Sleaford Mods have announced their new album ‘UK Grim’, with the pessimistic follow-up to the Nottingham duo’s 2021 album ‘Spare Ribs’ due for release in March.
The album's title track, which acts as a gloomy expression of the problems the UK faces, has already proved popular. The song has accompanying visuals from the frequently viral political artist Cold War Steve, mentions Vladimir Putin, short-lived Prime Minister Liz Truss, and has bleak lyrics like "in England nobody can hear you scream".
Singer Jason Williamson shared his thoughts on the song as a van displaying its surrealist music video toured through Nottingham on Wednesday, January 25 - just a day after it had journeyed around London. "It is quite surreal to see this out in the world. The message I wanted to get across is that the energy of life has been sapped up by ********," Jason said.
