After several weeks of anticipation and the release of the album\u2019s first single, the gripping \u201cLast Exit,\u201d former PiL bassist and prominent musical innovator Jah Wobble is ready to share the complete slate of songs that make up his brand new solo album, A Brief History Of Now<\/em>. Wobble, whom many have seen recently on numerous press outlets being interviewed about his collaboration and friendship with the recently departed Sin\u00e9ad O\u2019Connor, is not one to relish in past accomplishments, of which he has many, or content to rest on his laurels as an elder statesman for the modern post-punk sound. Instead, A Brief History Of Now<\/em> shows how Wobble\u2019s intensely inventive spirit uses the materials of his past to create something wholly new, wholly vital and eminently NOW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album\u2019s first single, \u201cLast Exit,\u201d for instance, used Klein\u2019s post-punkish guitar lines and Wobble\u2019s frenetic, driving bass to craft an ode to post-modern society that wouldn\u2019t feel out of place on a PiL record. However, for his newest single, Wobble revisits his longstanding and well-cultivated interest in dub rhythms and atmospheres. With the signature use of massive reverb and echo mixed with a prominent Jamaican rhythm bassline, \u201cI Am, I Am, I Am\u201d is less standard rock song than a spiritual mantra for the everyday citizen \u201cfloating\u201d through a Tesco, a British grocery mega-chain similar to a Wal-Mart here in the States. The track is as heady as it is addictive, and the superbly psychedelic video, directed by Vicento Cordero of Industrialism Films, guarantees that a mind-altering experience awaits all who dare to enter Wobble World.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
