“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.”
