Lottery Winners Anxiety Replacement Therapy ART

Manchester band The Lottery Winners album 'Anxiety Replacement Therapy' features collaborations with Boy George, Frank Turner and Shaun Ryder. A mammoth step forward, 'Anxiety Replacement Therapy' is on one level a set of 10 absolute anthems (and three interludes from a mystery narrator). These are mass singalongs in waiting from a band who've specialised in bringing people together over their previous two albums. Scratch the surface, however, and there's a world of empowerment and defiance, tackling subjects such as austerity, as well as of course, anxiety, mental health and its medications, and ADHD. It helps that these messages come wrapped with some of the best choruses you're likely to hear all year.
