English Tapas by Sleaford Mods
"English Tapas" is a 2015 studio album by English duo Sleaford Mods, released 03 March 2017 through Rough Trade.
Dissatisfied with 2016’s vitriolic <i>T.C.R.</i> EP, Sleaford Mods motormouth Jason Williamson resolved to move on from spontaneous ranting on this LP. Andrew Fearn’s austere beats still hammer away relentlessly, but hooks have crept into their sardonic dispatches from Brexit Britain (“Army Nights”, “Snout”), and a more pensive tone suits Williamson as he skewers corporate greed on “B.H.S.”. “I Feel So Wrong” even evokes a no-budget Massive Attack with simmering paranoia and a sung—sung!—chorus.
