Sleaford Mods' Jason Williamson and International Teachers of Pop have collaborated on a new song, 'I Stole Yer Plimsoles', which is out now. The cut is a fun look at a couple stealing each other's things. 

'I Stole Yer Plimsoles' has a lot of attitude thanks to a colloquial spoken word back and forth between Williamson and Leonore Wheatley and skittering, disco-lights synth. The single has whiffs of New Young Pony Club and Poly Styrene. Wheatley's dance-punk vocals are the perfect top-off for the glitchy electronics. Listen:

The collaboration is an unexpected but wholly welcomed one that shows off the inventive fun of International Teachers of Pop, who have just finished up on tour, well. It's also the lead single for the band's second album, which is now completed, and due out sometime in 2020. 

On the layabout character he plays in the song, Williamson said: “It interested me purely because I was that ‘disappointment of a man’ for many years. I think that’s why they asked me, they could just tell”.

Songwriter Adrian Flanagan - also The Moonlandingz founder - said of the release: “It’s probably the perfect soundtrack for ‘Peak Madness’!!!”

The second International Teachers of Pop album is due in 2020 via Desolate Spools/Republic of Music.
