RELEASE DATE

Limited edition double LP version; includes a CD version of the album and poster. In the finest dub tradition,
Mark Stewart
has returned to his highly-acclaimed
The Politics of Envy
(FNM 002CD/LP/LTD-CD) album, sonically savaging it into a new monster, suitably-entitled
Exorcism of Envy
. This album sees Stewart revisit the soundscapes which hotwired the original album as a viciously spot-on aural depiction of our world, re-molding its ingredients with gloves off and intensity levels on overdrive. "I've got this nonchalance that nothing is sacred," declared Stewart; a crucial element in this mission as he deconstructs songs such as "Apocalypse Hotel," "Method to the Madness," "Codex," and "Want," retaining the original essence but sand-blasting them into skull-crushing or soul-challenging new versions. In the style of Jamaican titans like
Jack Ruby
, he rips out the song's ghost to give it a fresh kicking, taking care to keep the soul alive, often with a new title; "Autonomia" becomes "Attack Dogs," "Gang War" turns into "Mirror Wars" (featuring
Xacute
), recent single "Stereotype" becomes the electro-yearn of "Sexorcist" and "Vanity Kills" swells into a swarming monolith of electrocuted sonic tendrils. Meanwhile, the previously beat-less version of
Bowie
's "Letter to Hermione" is amped into "Letter (Full of Tears)" aboard the filthiest funk bass line. "I've deconstructed in the tradition of dub," explains Stewart. "The original dub masters experimented and for me experimentation really matters, crashing in an index of possibilities. It's an expansion of my recent album, stripping it back to a skeletal dub and then burying it in bi-products of our hyper media."
The Politics of Envy
is a stunning work of gladiatorial proportions, a seething arena of stellar collaborations and deceivingly dislocated backdrops, shot with Stewart's twistedly eloquent observations and manifestos. After spending the last three decades watching his innovations plundered and turned into gold by friends and foes, he coolly returned with his most high profile album to date, re-establishing him as one of the most volcanic creative minds this country has ever produced. Recent single "Stereotype" has shown how Stewart could also make the perfect post-punk pop song over 30 years on. Now he's capping his remarkable year with his most gloriously ferocious statement yet, blowing up the sound system with proper aural anarchy.
