sleaford mods: tcr

Equal parts classic-era punk, casio minimalism, slam poetry, growling protest chant, and poison ivy rash, Sleaford Mods are singular, and always powerful. And with their TCR ep”, particularly its title track, named for the 1970s auto toy “Total Control Racing,” the Mods are surprisingly…tuneful? The 12” leads into the duo’s Rough Trade debut, planned for next year, which showcases a softer side of the perennially-aggressive…heh. Nah, that’s not the case. They raise as much hell and throw as many punches here as they have ever.
