No need to worry, it’s only the end of the world… welcome to The Demise Of Planet X.
Having put the Do into DIY in a 15 year (and counting) career that has seen their idiosyncratic but irresistible blueprint of minimal electronics and maximal insight adopted as a creative manifesto by a generation of artists following in their wake, while evolving from lo-fi beginnings to Top 5 albums, sold out tours and festival headline slots, who better than Sleaford Mods’ Andrew Fearn and Jason Wiliamson to chart civilisation’s unravelling?

While the world might be going out with a whimper rather than a bang, the opposite is true of The Demise Of Planet X. Akin to how Judgement Day visions inspired Hieronymus Bosch’s most vivid and wonderful paintings, ‘Demise…’ has yielded some of Sleaford Mods’s most complete and expressive work so far. The anger and the wit, the beats and bleeps still sear with the Nottingham duo’s customary uncompromising energy, but across the album they are augmented by new ideas and collaborators that add a fresh depth, empathy and guile to the band. The Demise Of Planet X is still resolutely a Sleaford Mods album, but it is one that goes to places the duo have never reached before.
