This is a uniquely unexpected collaboration between Sleaford Mods and Aldous Harding, who today dropped the music video for “Elitest G.O.A.T.”
The track serves as the fifth and final single from the upcoming album The Demise of Planet X, arriving this Friday via Rough Trade Records.
Built around a striking contrast, the song pairs Hannah’s soft, eerie vocals with Jason Williamson’s angsty, gritty alternative hip-hop delivery.
The push and pull between the two voices makes for a tense yet hypnotic listen, drawing you in with each repetition.
About the track by Sleaford Mods:
I was in Tasmania at a festival in 2020, just before lockdown.
We were headlining this little festival. So we went along and it was in the middle of this bizarre country, and there she was on stage, leering over an acoustic guitar, like a young John Lydon, almost.
And I thought, who the fuck is this?! But she had this music that was very minimal.
And a voice that was steeped in the past but also very contemporary sounding.
And yeah, I watched it and was quite taken by it, and I sat there for the rest of the gig, and I never normally do that. Before I know it, I’m stood there and she’s behind me – again, just leering at me [laughs].
So I introduced myself, we got talking and shared a lift home that night back to the same hotel, and we’ve kept in touch.
It’s an all-rounder relationship with Hannah – I really like her music and she’s a friend as well.
