May 19 marks 10 years of Sleaford Mods seminal album, Divide And Exit.

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.

Now set for a reissue through Rough Trade Records to mark the record’s tenth anniversary, the fully remastered album – complete with a limited-edition LP sleeve designed by Cold War Steve – offers a chance to fully appreciate a band beginning to hit their artistic stride while acknowledging and commiserating that many of the dark forces that inspired its creation linger on. Yet once again it is possible revel in the hopeful anger that underpins Sleaford Mods’ blasts of outrage and electro.

• Fully remastered album – complete with a limited-edition LP sleeve (first pressing only) designed by ColdWar Steve and new sleevenotes written by Jason Williamson and a 7” flexi only available with the indie version.
• “Sleaford Mods are the voice of their generation” The Times
• “Sleaford Mods are Britain’s laureates” Financial Times
• “Sleaford Mods, from Nottingham, England, are fantastic complainers...Divide and Exit is their most consistent record” The New York Times
• Divide and Exit is about as punk as punk gets... [Jason Williamson] has become one of the most sharp and funny chroniclers of his country’s widespread slump into disillusionment” Pitchfork
