The PiL Bassist makes his long-awaited return to the post-punk sound with his new album 'A Brief History of Now'.
After an astounding 45-year music career that began as the bassist for John Lydon’s post-Sex Pistols band, Public Image Ltd., earning immense praise for his trailblazing musicianship, through his solo career and collaborations with the likes of Can’s Holger Czukay and U2’s The Edge, not to mention his later work with Brian Eno, Ministry’s Chris Connelly and Killing Joke’s Geordie Walker, one would think that Jah Wobble would have said all he had to say. Turns out, he was just getting started.
Today, Wobble announces a brand-new solo album, ‘A Brief History Of Now’, that finds the eclectic troubadour returning to the post-punk genre that Wobble had a key role in developing both in his brief tenure in PiL and after. Co-written, produced and performed with another post-punk hero, Jon Klein of Siouxsie & The Banshees and Specimen ,‘A Brief History Of Now’ packs a powerful punch both musically and lyrically as these two veterans deliver an energetic and innovative collection of musical treatises.

A Brief History Of Now will be available on digital, CD and vinyl starting August 4!
