Sleaford Mods share Perry Farrell collab “So Trendy” (new LP ‘UK Grim’ out this week)
Sleaford Mods' new album UK Grim is out this week (preorder on silver vinyl), and they've just shared "So Trendy" which features Perry Farrell. The Jane's Addiction frontman handles a verse and does his best to vocally fit in with the Mods. “Perry got in touch and said he wanted to work with us," says frontman Jason Williamson. "He's a really cool guy and his back catalogue clearly speaks for itself, so we jumped at it, and 'So Trendy' grew from there." You can watch the AI enhanced video, directed by John Minton, below.
“'So Trendy' concerns itself with the ongoing polarisation of living life through smart devices" Williamson continues. "The daily experience is a series of passwords or facial recognitions that lead us into familiar Arenas of consumer marketing and conformity.”
Sleaford Mods will be on tour around their Coachella appearance in April and hit NYC on April 7 at Webster Hall. They've also got summer and fall dates in the UK and Europe -- all are listed below.
