Sleaford Mods were ahead of the curve when it came to reintroducing politics to music, and if English Tapas is anything to go by, they're also on the cutting edge of post-Brexit weariness. As on Key Markets, Jason Williamson and Andrew Fearn serve up more character-driven songs that express their constant -- and always timely -- frustrations, whether they're skewering machismo on "Army Nights" or 21st century solipsism on songs like the attention-seeking "Snout" or "Just Like We Do," which calls out "pretentious little bastards on social medias." The duo's state of mind on English Tapas was foreshadowed not only on Key Markets but the T.C.R. EP, whose title track used a toy race car set as a nostalgic metaphor for spinning one's wheels. Fearn and Williamson capture this feeling of being stuck even more literally on ultra-repetitive tracks such as "Time Sands," where crickets and a hip-hop beat create a loop of despair, and "Cuddly," one of the few songs that mentions Brexit by name. Indeed, Sleaford Mods' austerity sounds more grim than bracing on English Tapas, a phrase Fearn saw on a pub's menu board for an item consisting of half a scotch egg, chips, a mini pork pie, and a pickle. With food like that, it's better to focus on drinking, and alcohol features prominently on "Messy Anywhere," "Carlton Touts," and "Drayton Manored," where Williamson's enervated harmonies when he sings "have you ever wondered why you wonder why?" underscore the feelings of emptiness that shadow the album. Perversely, the duo puts some of the catchiest songs at the end of English Tapas, though the increased hooks do little to lighten Williamson's words and mood. On "Dull," he spits out the title like it tastes bad, while "B.H.S." sets his hopelessness to a more active beat. He and Williamson close the album with the standout "I Feel So Wrong," one of their most melodic -- and desperate-sounding -- songs yet. It's an apt finale to English Tapas' numbness and frustration; it might not be as much fun as some of Sleaford Mods' earlier albums, but that's the point. ~ Heather Phares

商品の紹介

イングランド出身の二人組、ジェイソン・ウィリアムソンとアンドリュー・フェーンによって2012年に結成されたスリーフォード・モッズ。極限まで削ぎ落とされたミニマルな超骨太サウンドと、癖の強いイースト・ミッドランドの訛りのヴォーカルで、労働者階級のイギリス文化を赤裸々に歌い上げる超強烈なオヤジたち。ザ・プロディジーのアルバム『The Day Is My Enemy』収録曲「Ibiza」にフィーチャーされ、MVでも存在感を発揮している。彼らのインスピレーションは、いつだって路地裏にある。ヴォーカルのジェイソン・ウィリアムソンは、今作について「アンドリューが適当なバーに入ったら、メニューボードに"イギリス風タパス"なんて殴り書きがされていた。そんな笑わせる言葉の下には、ハーフ・スコッチエッグ、チップス、ピクルス、ミニ・ポークパイってメニューが並んでいたんだ。これがこのクソったれのバーの全てを物語ってるだろ。それはコメディーであり、有り合わせであり、無知、とにかく、クソなんだ」と語り、「2016年のことを思い返してみろよ。これ以上最悪なことはなかっただろ」と吐き捨てる。そんな彼らが、あの《Rough Trade》からリリースする。録音は、パルプのベーシストであるスティーヴ・マッキーのスタジオで行われた。さらに、今年春には2年を費やし撮影された、路地裏のパブ・バンドがアリーナ級バンドへ成長するスリーフォード・モッズの軌跡を描いたドキュメンタリー映画『Bunch of Kunst』の公開も予定されている。地元の熱烈な支持を集め、我が道を突き進む彼らの新アルバム『English Tapas』が、いよいよ発売!

Rolling Stone - 4 stars out of 5 -- "With echoes of the Fall and Throbbing Gristle, the stark tracks fittingly recall an era that demanded engaged art." Uncut - "English Tapas continued their vital mission: social critique in which the grimness came accompanied by rabble-rousing power electronics and a scabrous wit." NME (Magazine) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Williamson's sideways swipes at pop culture and his own big nights out are as hypnotic as Fearn's punked-up electronica which, despite its simplicity, is nigh impossible not to move to." Paste (magazine) - "They are still taking the alienating minutiae of the modern day-to-day and converting it into something weird, brilliant and cheering as a friendly punch to the shoulder -- even when the subject matter turns grim." Pitchfork (Website) - "ENGLISH TAPAS mostly finds Williamson further honing the contours of his singular East Midlands vernacular, with special attention paid to the lifestyles of the tragic and washed-up modern male..."

昨年(2016年)のEPも好評だった遅咲きの2人組が、移籍して初のアルバムを投下。イースト・ミッドランズ訛りの酒灼けラップと、贅肉を削ぎ落としたスカスカなオケとの相性は抜群で、作品を追うごとに増すパンク濃度の高さに惚れ惚れ。音のタイプは違えども、初期ストリーツのギザギザした感じを思い出す人は多いはず。ケン・ローチ監督と絡むなど、いまや労働者階級のニュー・ヒーローとなった彼らが発する辛辣な言葉にも注目を!
