Leftfield release their throbbing, acerbic new single Head and Shoulders on 28 August. The song features vocals by Jason Williamson of Sleaford Mods and is the third single to be lifted from the recently released, critically acclaimed top 10 album Alternative Light Source, out now in digital, CD and vinyl formats via Infectious Music.
Leftfield, now led solely by Neil Barnes, are one of electronic music’s all time greatest acts, and Alternative Light Source is the follow up to Leftism (1995) and Rhythm and Stealth (1999), both of which were nominated for the Mercury Prize. Alongside Sleaford Mods, the record contains collaborations with Ofei, Tunde Adebimpe (TV On The Radio) and Channy Leaneagh of Poliça.
