New year, new Sleaford Mods track; Kebab Spider is taken from the Nottingham duo's forthcoming long player, Eton Alive and, as you'd rightly expect, is fair full to overflowing with energetic beats and blistering wordplay. The club-based video, below, allows the pair to show off their funky moves amongst a crowd of friends and fans.
What, you may be wondering, is it about then? Well, Mods' frontman Jason Williamson has stated that the song is...
So, there you go, obvious when you know really.
I'll admit that late night gyros aren't really my bag however, tucked away in the dark recesses of my brain, there sits a chemical memory of a boozy night many years ago in Faliraki. A surfeit of Ouzo means that several scenes are missing from the evening (how I got onto that bar I'll never know) but I definitely recall a kebab being waved in front of my vegetarian face at the end of the night. For all I know, a tarantula may indeed have crawled out from the salad and compressed meat to say hello. Did I mention there was a lot of Ouzo?
As for the track it is, to further quote Jason Williamson, proper, and kudos as always to rhythm man Andrew Fearn for supplying music that blends textures of late 80's Manchester dance with Mr Oizo's Flat Beat but makes something altogether better. It's a corker of a track and I wait with baited breath for a hard and dirty bass heavy remix.
Kebab Spider is available now with Eton Alive is scheduled for release on Friday 22nd February, with a UK tour kicking off in March (the chaps play Portsmouth Pyramids on Thursday 2nd May, Bournemouth's Old Fire Station on Friday 3rd May and Southampton's Engine Rooms on Saturday 4th May).
