Boasting the duo’s most varied and expressive musical approach so far, The Demise Of Planet X charts, critiques and satirises our times, while offering a universal cry of anger and release of energy that pushes against the encroaching cultural darkness. Andrew Fearn and Jason Williamson’s most expansive release, the album features a rare guest appearance from former Life Without Buildings frontwoman Sue Tompkins, plus collaborations with Aldous Harding, Midlands band Big Special, soul singer Liam Bailey, and grime artist MC Snowy, the latter two both hailing from band’s hometown Nottingham.
Contemplating the world coming to an end not with a big bang but in slowly rising tide of irritating mundanity, The Demise Of Planet X strikes back with vivid sonics, acerbic words, enveloping atmospheres and a engaging wit across 13 tracks that will move hearts, minds and feet.
"The Demise Of Planet X represents a life lived under immense uncertainty, shaped by mass trauma,” declares frontman Jason Williamson. “When we wrote the last album, it was about stagnation, a country that felt like a lifeless corpse. Three years later, that corpse has been split open by war, genocide, and the lingering psychological fallout of Covid whilst social media has mutated into a grotesque, twisted form of digital engineering. It feels like we’re living among the ruins. A multi-layered abomination etched into our collective psyche.”
He adds: “I don't want to pat myself on the back while the rest of the world falls to shit, but we’re really happy with The Demise Of Planet X. The music and ideas are really fresh and it's in your face, but it pays to put your glasses on to look at the ingredients.”
