DECEMBER

‘UK Grim’ will be released on March 10 via Rough Trade Records and features collaborations with Dry Cleaning’s Florence Shaw and Jane’s Addiction’s Perry Farrell and Dave Navarro.

“The album was written during the non-event, which was COVID and I’ve just got increasingly angrier with myself and everyone else,” Jason Williamson told NME earlier this year. “The energy of it is a lot more aggressive.”

He added: “It hasn’t been carried by anything apart from perhaps the ultra-demise of any kind of reason in government politics. Perhaps in that sense, ‘UK Grim’ might strike a chord with people at their wit’s end, with people having to suffer these fucking idiots.”
