Electronic post-punk duo Sleaford Mods present their new album ‘UK Grim,’ arriving through Rough Trade Records. The first single, and title track, is out now alongside a music video from Cold War Steve.

Brooklyn duo Water From Your Eyes have announced their new album (and their first for Matador), ‘Everyone’s Crushed,’ along with the first single, “Barley.”
On the follow-up to the Brooklyn duo’s 2021 breakthrough, ‘Structure’, Rachel Brown (they/them) and Nate Amos (he/him) find silliness and fatalism dancing in a frantic lockstep, using heart palpitating rhythms and absurdist, deadpan lyrics to convey stories of personal and societal unease. Described by Brown as Water From Your Eyes’ most collaborative record ever, ‘Everyone’s Crushed,’ is a swollen contusion of an album: experimental pop music that’s pretty and violent, raw and indelible.
