The iconic Jah Wobble<\/strong><\/a> has teamed up with guitarist Jon Klein<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>on ‘Automated Paradise’<\/a><\/strong>, their third collaborative album and debut album as a duo with Dimple Discs<\/strong><\/a><\/strong>. Out March 27th, this eight-track collection is previewed by the invigorating lead track <\/strong>\u2018Fading Away\u2019<\/strong><\/a>, a track that pulsates with motorik drive and the raw electrical tension of British post-punk and new wave, its shimmering progressive layers seemingly surging through the circuits of life itself.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pairing of post-punk legends Jah Wobble (Public Image Ltd.) <\/strong>and Jon Klein (Specimen, Siouxsie & The Banshees)<\/strong> is no coincidence. Initially combining forces on the ‘Metal Box \u2013 Rebuilt In Dub’ album<\/strong>, released in 2021, they continue to collaborate – both live and creating music in the studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Jah Wobble and I share a mutual desire to keep a momentum going at the centre of the creative process. So we keeping it moving and trust our instinctive decisions and ideas. ‘Automated Paradise’ is essentially a collection of jams and sketches, all made very spontaneously. We\u2019d made several albums together previously, starting with 2021\u2019s ‘Metal Box – Rebuilt in Dub’, so he had a wide range of experiences and strategies to draw from,” says Jon Klein<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“\u2018Fading Away\u2019 is an end-of-civilisation story, echoing one of the earliest themes of human literature and reflecting a persistent human anxiety about the fragility of social order.”Jah Wobble<\/strong> adds, “Making this record with Jon Klein was (as ever) an absolute buzz . Totally in the moment. Proper post punk. Angry and humorous. ‘Fading Away’ was the first track we finished from this album. We did this record in a handful of very intense, spontaneous sessions. Right place, right time sort of thing”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
