Limited-edition LP sleeve designed by Cold War Steve, plus a bonus flexi featuring the rarity “Git Some Balls” – released on translucent red vinyl with new sleeve notes by Mods’ Jason Williamson and a fully reprinted, 2014 interview from The Wire.
Allying strong words and minimal electronics, Sleaford Mods’ second ‘proper’ album (or sixth if you go back through the early CD-R efforts) the self-released Divide and Exit was not only Andrew Fearn and Jason Williamson’s most effective artistic expression to that point, it also truly captured the taste of a land souring by the day.
Fully remastered and set for a reissue through Rough Trade Records to mark the record’s tenth anniversary.
This reissue offers a chance to fully appreciate a band hitting their artistic stride while acknowledging and commiserating that many of the dark forces that inspired its creation linger on. Once again though it is possible bathe in the hopeful anger that underpins Sleaford Mods’ blasts of outrage and electro.
“Where our previous album Austerity Dogs barked a directionless yet solid form of anger, Divide and Exit then carried this basic form of class consciousness,” says Williamson of the vision behind the record, both musically and lyrically.
