English electronic punk duo, Sleaford Mods (Jason Williamson and Andrew Fearn) have announced a new album, Spare Ribs, and shared its first single, “Mork N Mindy,” via a video for it. The song and video feature Billy Nomates. They also performed the song on Late Night with Seth Meyers. Spare Ribs is due out January 15, 2021 via Rough Trade. Check out the “Mork N Mindy” video below, followed by the Seth Meyers performance and the album’s tracklist and cover art.

Ben Wheatley (Kill List, Free Fire, and Netflix’s new adaptation of Rebecca) directed the “Mork N Mindy” video. The album also features Amy Taylor of Australian punks Amyl and The Sniffers.

Spare Ribs’ title was inspired by the pandemic, as Williamson explains in a press release: “the idea of the amount of people that died from the first wave of coronavirus; human lives are always expendable to the elites… We’re in a constant state of being spare ribs.”

Back in May the band released a career-spanning retrospective, All That Glue. Before that, their last album was 2019’s Eton Alive.
