WINTER OF DISCONTENT has been compiled by Saint Etienne's Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs, the latest in their highly acclaimed series of albums that includes The Daisy Age, Fell From The Sun and English Weather ("really compelling and immersive: it's a pleasure to lose yourself in it" - Alexis Petridis, the Guardian). The era's bigger DIY names (Scritti Politti, TV Personalities, the Fall) and the lesser known (Exhibit A, Digital Dinosaurs, Frankie's Crew) are side by side on WINTER OF DISCONTENT. Mark Perry's Sniffin' Glue command - "Here's one chord, here's another, now start a band" - was amplified by the Mekons and the Raincoats, whose music shared a little of punk's volume, speed and distortion, but all of its obliqueness and irreverence.
