Product Information

Apart from a shared geographical heritage, The Lottery Winners also embody the unapologetic joie de vivre that The Happy Mondays possessed (with less of the evident dysfunction). Seeking and finding “a whole universe for you to exist” becomes a shared motivational goal by the end of the song. As well as recreating how it feels when your brain is determined to implode in self-sabotage, Worry also purges and blasts out any lurking brain crud with its force, as does track two, Burning House. A mammoth step forward, Anxiety Replacement Therapy is on one level a set of 10 absolute anthems (and three interludes from a mystery narrator).

It includes collaborations with Shaun Ryder, Frank Turner and Boy George, [2] as well as three spoken word interludes performed by the actor Stephen Fry.
