The Glasgow-based noiseniks have teamed with guest vocalist Will Carruthers (Spacemen 3, Spectrum, Spiritualised, Brian Jonestown Massacre etc) for this searing but also hilarious takedown of English nationalism.
While the band play on in their usual style (breakneck beats, massive slabs of guitar noise, reverb and feedback galore), Carruthers gives a deadpan spoken word narration on why he is “more English than you…” invoking ever more ridiculous reasons and side stories…
Listeners who have a problem with that certain “Sea With Three Stars” vernacular may wish to avoid as it is repeated countless times…
“I’m so English I don’t even need to take back control…” “I’m nostalgic for things that haven’t even happened yet”…
The whole thing is massively good fun – “I’m more English than Boris Johnston, I’ve got a tweed tractor…”
Last line – “and I’m mainly Welsh, you c…, and what could be more English than that, you c…”
