Recorded in the Tuareg guitarist’s home country over the past five years, these live and alternate takes offer the chance to hear his music in the cultural context in which he forged it. As the Niger EP demonstrate, a field recorder pointed in the general direction of a band in the middle of a wild party can capture a lot of life.

Though no strangers to the dancefloor, the minimal yet immersive beats and grooves of UK Grims's tracks – which include collaborations with Dry Cleaning’s Florence Shaw and Jane’s Addiction’s Perry Farrell among them – add a new, physical dimension to Sleaford Mods’ sound that makes their words more vital than ever.
