These are mass singalongs in waiting from a band who’ve specialized in bringing people together over their previous two albums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eScratch the surface, however, and there’s a world of empowerment and defiance, tackling subjects such as austerity, as well as of course, anxiety, mental health and its medications, and ADHD. It helps that these messages come wrapped with some of the best choruses you’re likely to hear all year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Each of the albums in my collection are a self-help tape for me,” explains singer Thom Rylance. “If I listen to Paul Simon’s Graceland, it’s because I know it’ll put me in a good mood. If I play The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths, it’s because I want to embrace feeling sad. We wanted to present ‘Anxiety Replacement Therapy’ as a self-help tape for anyone playing it.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe album features guest spots with their friend and previous collaborator \u003cstrong\u003eFrank Turner\u003c\/strong\u003e on the moving and stirring ‘Letter To Myself’, as well as \u003cstrong\u003eBoy George\u003c\/strong\u003e who puts in a bravura performance on the summery ‘Let Me Down’ which recalls the emotional intensity of his work with Culture Club, and \u003cstrong\u003eShaun Ryder\u003c\/strong\u003e who brings his freewheeling brilliance on the already incisive austerity anthem ‘Money’, reprising his iconic “Call the cops!” refrain from Happy Mondays’ 1990 classic ‘Step On’.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Modern Sky","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50505673670987,"sku":"2008013","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50505672720715,"sku":"2008012","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50505675047243,"sku":"2008014","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/The_Lottery_Winners_-_ART_Artwork_2f480541_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727815837","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/anxiety-replacement-therapy","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
