Sleaford Mods and Hot Chip have joined forces for a collaborative double single – listen to ‘Nom Nom Nom’ and ‘Cat Burglar’ below.The two bands released the songs today (November 26) as a seven-inch vinyl and on streaming platforms via Friendly Records in aid of War Child.

Both tracks were recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London.The London group (fronted by Alexis Taylor) invited the Nottingham duo (comprising Jason Williamson and Andrew Fearn) down to take part in one of Abbey Road’s innovative and groundbreaking Lock-In Sessions – which has been captured in a short film.Lead track ‘Nom Nom Nom’ combines “both acts’ best characteristics, creating a suave yet edgy groove that is as happy on the dancefloor as it is in the mosh-pit”, per a press release.Speaking about the ‘Hot Mods’ collab, Williamson explained: “On the day we went in cold and just handed ourselves over to it. ‘Nom Nom Nom’ is a lyrical continuation from our album ‘UK Grim’ [2023] over Andrew’s keyboard riff, built on by Hot Chip and finishing up with an excellent chorus from Alexis.”The vocalist went on to describe ‘Cat Burglar’ as “a weird prog rock meets B52s jam that explores the narrow corridors of modern human experience”.Hot Chip added: “Making these songs over the course of one day at Abbey Road was a great experience.“We arrived without a plan but quickly began working together in a harmonious way, with lots of improvisation and very little ego.

We are very grateful to Sleaford Mods for joining us and very proud of the result.”Sleaford Mods decided the tracks would be perfect when Friendly Records approached them to participate in their project with War Child.
