""It's quite a big album, isn't it?," Jason Williamson says of Sleaford Mods' The Demise of Planet X which continues the UK duo's expansion of their sonic universe. "I think it happened by accident, just in the way Andrew [Fearn] was reinterpreting my ideas that I would send to him, which I always leave to him. And his interpretation of them is usually brilliant, obviously. It's made Sleaford Mods what it is. So, yeah, they just felt bigger.""
""We want change and we're certainly getting change. At the minute, it's not very good change. But I think because we want change, the human race wants to progress. We are having to have this onslaught of dog shit for a long time until we get to a point where things will change, you know, for the better. And I believe they will.""
The Demise of Planet X expands Sleaford Mods' sonic universe through Andrew Fearn's reinterpretation of Jason Williamson's ideas, producing a notably bigger sound. The album responds to a world described as 'same but worse' while maintaining a hopeful outlook that change will eventually improve conditions. A large cast of guests contributes vocals, including Gwendoline Christie, Aldous Harding and Sue Tompkins. Themes touch on social and political turmoil, punk influences, creative collaboration, and Williamson's parallel acting pursuits. The release is available on neon green black marble vinyl and the duo will support it with an upcoming tour.
