Sleaford Mods’ second major album, Divide and Exit, marked their artistic breakthrough with sharp words and minimal electronics, capturing the growing discontent in society. Remastered for its tenth anniversary via Rough Trade, the album blends hopeful anger with raw class consciousness. Jason Williamson calls it their most punk record, with Andrew Fearn’s urgent production shaping a sound that was ahead of its time and influential to many post-punk artists that followed.
