“English Tapas”to Be Served in March next Year
SLEAFORD MODS have announced the release of their new album.
The duo’s upcoming new album, English Tapas, will be released via Rough Trade Records on March 3rd 2017.
The release will also include a special edition and a few bonuses for the fans in the form of a limited pressing of red vinyl, CD, DL and very limited edition cassette – 150 only. The first 1000 vinyl pre-orders go with a bonus one sided 7” of exclusive track Big Trouble In Little Costa, gigography booklet containing unseen photos by Simon Parfrement and commentary by Sleaford Mods, a packet of kingsize rizlas and a beermat. Well, of course they do.
Jason Williamson says of the new record:
Andrew walked into some random pub and saw “English Tapas” scrawled on the menu board. Underneath this beautiful coupling of words were it’s components, half a scotch egg, cup of chips, pickle and a mini pork pie. It says everything about this fucking place. It’s comedy, it’s make do, it’s ignorant and above all, it’s shit.
The album was recorded at Steve Mackey’s (Pulp) West Heath Garage studios in London. Track listing as follows:
1. Army Nights
2. Just Like We Do
3. Moptop
4. Messy Anywhere
