Andrew Fearn and Jason Williamson’s most expansive and ambitious release to date, the album features a rare guest appearance from former Life Without Buildings frontwoman Sue Tompkins, plus collaborations with Aldous Harding, soul singer Liam Bailey and grime MC Snowy, the latter two both hailing from band’s hometown Nottingham.

In her first foray into music, actress Gwendoline Christie (Wednesday/Severance/Game Of Thrones) also joins Midlands band Big Special on Sleaford Mods new single The Good Life, which is released today accompanied by a video directed by Ben Wheatley (The Kill List/A Field In England/Bulk).

Several limited-edition versions of ‘The Demise Of Planet X’ will be available on release, which can be pre-ordered now.

For the next 48 hours only, an exclusive ‘black label’ starlight sparkle vinyl version of the album will be available via the band’s mailing list. A glow in the dark edition, boasting a luminous LP and glow in the dark gatefold sleeve design is available from the band and Rough Trade Records’ webstores, while independent record shops are selling an exclusive, neon green marbled edition. The album will also be available on black vinyl, CD and cassette, the latter coming in a fetching shade of toxic green.

Additionally, in a salute to their hometown, the ‘Nottz picture-disc’ edition will be exclusively on sale only from shops within Nottingham.
