Anxiety Replacement Therapy Limited Edition Duck Egg Vinyl LP

Manchester band The Lottery Winners have announced their forthcoming new album Anxiety Replacement Therapy, which will feature collaborations with Boy George, Frank Turner, and Shaun Ryder. A mammoth step forward, Anxiety Replacement Therapy is on one level a set of 10 absolute anthems (and three interludes from a mystery narrator). These are mass singalongs in waiting from a band whove specialised in bringing people together over their previous two albums. Scratch the surface, however, and theres 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 youre likely to hear all year. Each of the albums in my collection are a self-help tape for me, explains singer Thom Rylance. If I listen to Paul Simons Graceland, its because I know itll put me in a good mood. If I play The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths, its because I want to embrace feeling sad. We wanted to present Anxiety Replacement Therapy as a self-help tape for anyone playing it. The album features guest spots with their friend and previous collaborator Frank Turner on the moving and stirring Letter To Myself , as well as Boy George who puts in a bravura performance on the summery Let Me Down which recalls the emotional intensity of his work with Culture Club, and Shaun Ryder 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.
