Album DescriptionAvailable in:

English Tapas (2017) marque l'entrée de Sleaford Mods chez Rough Trade, affinant leur formule de punk minimaliste à base de boîtes à rythmes et de logorrhées vindicatives.
Entre les beats dépouillés d'Andrew Fearn et le débit saccadé de Jason Williamson, l'album livre une satire féroce de l'Angleterre de l'austérité.
Brut, répétitif et profondément ancré dans une réalité prolétaire désabusée, cet opus transforme le mépris social en une poésie abrasive, capturant l'essence d'un pays en pleine crise d'identité avec une économie de moyens radicale.

You can see why people thought Sleaford Mods’ moment might be fleeting: a flash of scourging, cathartic anger destined to burn itself out quickly. On the evidence of English Tapas, that’s not what’s happened at all. There’s an argument that circumstances have conspired to make them sound even more vital now than in the days when every review of them felt obliged to use the phrase ConDemNation, but English Tapas isn’t a great album just because it’s timely and engaged. Music certainly would feel healthier if other artists were bothering to do something that addressed the kind of topics addressed here, but even if they were, it’s hard to see how they could come up with anything more potent and incisive and blackly funny as this. What English Tapas never sounds like is a band running out of steam. Quite the opposite.
