Sleaford Mods - Eton Alive flac album

Summary: The fifth full-length studio release for the British duo of Jason Williamson and Andrew Fearn is the first album on their own label.

That Sleaford Mods’ three most recent albums have resonated so widely, despite being so at odds with any of their peers, is largely down to the focused ire of Jason Williamson’s lyrics, a winning mix of ess bile and absurdist humour. Indeed, a passing reference aside ( Graham Coxon looks like a leftwing Boris Johnson ), David Cameron et al don’t get a look-in here, although the consequences of their actions are detailed in forensic detail. Policy Cream paints a bleak picture of a society in decline, with its admission that we’re like pumped-up meat, wet and fried and thick ; Into the Payzone skewers the impersonal nature of contemporary consumerism.

Sleaford Mods' astonishing and deceptively subtle Eton Alive provides plenty of food for thought to counter the bread and circuses on offer during a time of political austerity. While the Mods' humorous lyrics often mask the unclenching reality of their reportage, Eton Alive is a blunt album, which speaks to distorted realities.

Sleaford Mods have announced new album 'Eton Alive'. The duo recently parted ways with Rough Trade, forming their own label Extreme Eating in the process. New full length 'Eton Alive' is the first release, and it's set to land in February following sessions in Nottingham. 'Eton Alive' speaks for itself really
