Divide And Exit (10th Anniversary)
May 19 marks 10 years of Sleaford Mods seminal album, Divide And Exit.
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.
Now set for a reissue through Rough Trade Records to mark the record’s tenth anniversary, the fully remastered album – complete with a limited-edition LP sleeve designed by Cold War Steve – offers a chance to fully appreciate a band beginning to hit their artistic stride while acknowledging and commiserating that many of the dark forces that inspired its creation linger on. Yet once again it is possible revel in the hopeful anger that underpins Sleaford Mods’ blasts of outrage and electro.
As well as been fully remastered, Williamson has written new sleevenotes to accompany the album while The Wire’s interview with the band from the time, conducted by the incomparable Mark Fisher, is being reprinted in full.
Available on indie exclusive limited clear red coloured vinyl with bonus flexi disc.
