Influential post-punk duo sleafordmods talk about their latest album, staying angry and the conformity of the scene
Like having the genetic trait of uncontrollable perspiration at the faintest hint of spice, as much as some people try not to sweat the small stuff as they grow older, it’s impossible to ignore the urge to flip a table when they detect bullshit. For the highly influential Nottingham post-punk and electronic duo Sleaford Mods, their infectious brand of anger isn’t necessarily a default setting, but it’s a feeling they’ve learned how to tap into.
“People are holding on to a movement that I think has become just as stale as the commercial side of things,” he says, “It’s no longer this playground for masses of original ideas because everyone’s become amalgamated into the same uniform, same hair color, same tattoos. The ideology is roughly the same, lots of naivety. Which I wouldn’t attribute to creative progressions.
Their winning formula has attracted like-minded peers within the industry to guest on their albums. Onthe duo collaborated with Billy Nomates and Amy and the Sniffers singer Amy Taylor. This time around, they welcomed one-of-a-kind Dry Cleaning vocalist Florence Shaw and an unexpected call to feature from Janes Addiction and Porno for Pyros frontman Perry Farrell . All of the production is in service of Williamson’s lyrics, of course.
