‘English Tapas’ is the Nottingham duo’s first album on the Rough Trade label, named after they spotted the phrase on a pub menu advertising a platter of chips, a scotch egg, a mini pork pie and some pickle. “It says everything about this f**king place,” said Williamson. “It’s comedy, it’s make-do, it’s ignorant and above all, it’s s**t.” British s**tness finds itself at the centre of this 11-track collection, from the takedown of Sir Philip Green, his super-yacht and disregard for workers on ‘BHS’ to sneering mentions of Snapchat, selfies and Superdry on ‘Snout’. In fact, no one is safe from Williamson’s scorn. The doomy ‘Dull’ even has a pop at us. “Try scrolling down the website of the NME / Without laughing / I’ll give you ten quid if you can keep a straight face,” he rants. Sorry you’re not into it, babes. - NME
