Sleaford Mods, the British duo that loves to obliterate the elite with a good beat, searing lyricism, and a menacing delivery, has a new album on the way. UK GRIM will be out March 10 via Rough Trade Records. Today, they shared the lead single, which is the album's title track. It also comes with a captivating visual by Cold War Steve, serving as the British collage artist and satirist's first foray into music videos.

UK GRIM features a few collaborations, including vocal contributions from Dry Cleaning's Florence Shaw. “She really does remind me of the early stuff that I used to do, just the way she uses one word to convey a whole story,” the band's Jason Williamson said. Another track features Jane’s Addiction’s Perry Farrell rapping, which Williamson said he's “very wary of…a really weird track.”
