October 4 street date. Sleaford Mods release of their cover of the Pet Shop Boys' iconic single "West End Girls", with all profits from the track going to the homeless charity Shelter. The Nottingham duo created a version of the 1986 classic between tours for their latest album, "UK GRIM", and then sought the blessing of Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe to put out the track. Not only did Sleaford Mods' "West End Girls" meet with the pair's approval, but the Pet Shops Boys were inspired to remix the cover which features as one of the tracks on the limited edition single. Hifi Sean has also contributed an Acid House meets Hi-NRG remix for the release, while Sleaford Mods' own Andrew Fearn has added a heady vocoder led mix under his solo guise of Extnddntwrk. "Sleaford Mods have brought East End boys back to the West End streets for a great cause and we love their new version" - Tennant & Lowe.
June 28 street date. Allying strong words and minimal electronics, Sleaford Mods' second "proper" album, 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. "Listening to it now, it's perhaps the most punk record we have done", says Williamson, reflecting on how Sleaford Mods felt out ahead, covering fresh ground alone at the time, before going on to inspire a raft of post-punk-infused artists to follow their lead in the album's aftermath. "There wasn't anyone in the country doing what we were doing at that point, it feels like it was 30 years ago, but it's only been 10". Remastered CD edition with original artwork.
