The Lottery Winners have released the new single and video for their collaboration with fellow Mancunion Shaun Ryder, ‘Money’, taken from their upcoming album ‘Anxiety Replacement Therapy’ out 28th April on Modern Sky UK.
The track touches upon one of the anxieties the album’s title refers to, and features Shaun’s freewheeling brilliance on a song that has a hint of Mondays bounce to it (including the reprising of his iconic “call the cops!”), yet remains an incisive austerity anthem.
The video features Shaun in a lord of the manor role he was born to play, employing the band as removal specialists.
Thom says:
“Firstly, SHAUN RYDER is on our single. How mental is that? Being in the studio with him was a very strange and wonderful experience. He gave me a conker that he had in his pocket for some reason. I love him. He’s a true Manchester music legend and truly is a genius.
Filming the video was bananas as well. We filmed it where they shot Peaky Blinders. At one point I had to drive a Luton van past a Happy Monday into Tommy Shelby’s driveway. I’ve got a weird life.
The song is a banger. It’s about being skint, and I’m sure a lot of people can relate to that at the moment, while it costs both an arm and a leg just to heat your house.”
Guitarist Rob Lally adds: “Thom (Rylance, singer / guitarist) said: ‘We need Shaun to say something like ‘Call the cops.’ Five minutes later, Shaun said: ‘They’ve stole my money, call the cops.’ We all went: ‘Yeeees! He’s said the thing! We’re putting that in.’ Shaun said that line so cheekily, it was brilliant.”
