Watch: Sleaford Mods Drop Music Video For "Silly Me"

Nottingham indie rock/punk duo Sleaford Mods (aka Jason Williamson and Andrew Fearn) have dropped the video for their current single "Silly Me".

The song is part of our current playlist and is taken from their latest album 'Key Markets', which came out on 10 July via Harbinger Sound. Buy it here.

About the track, the band explained: "Silly Me is about the long tunnel, the one that has no light. Another week spent walking up and down the street. The quiet tension of your living room with its shit sofa. The unconfirmed nature of 'doing' instead of 'trying'. It’s that realisation that all you have to work with is your own failure, it's the only starting point you have and to ignore it, to dismiss the reasons why unhappiness is still haunting you is a mistake. It's your ticket out of misery if you keep trying to confront it because eventually persistence rules. Not all the time though. This isn't one of those fucking smug acid jazz positivity yawns. Large numbers of people have fuck all and that won't change. That's horrible. ‘Silly Me’ is just one experience over Andrew’s solid, hard funk loop."

The video was directed by Simon Parfrement. Take a look below.
