My humble contribution to Tessellate Recordings' ambitious Earthtones compilation series.

"The Earthtones series spans the internet-based contemporary ambient music scene, with a concept that helps us concentrate more on the geography that lies between each artist. In making worldwide communication easier, the internet has made it easy to forget the sheer size of our planet. "

All funds will be put into future label releases.

“The best British Rock n Roll band since The Pogues or quite possibly The Clash”
- The Sunday Times

“The first band I could ever dance in the daytime hours without chemical assistance” 
- Irvine Welsh 

They’re not from Alabama and there sure as hell ain’t three of them, but for two decades Alabama 3 have been unleashing their unique blend of Country Acid House from their adopted home in Brixton, South London. Always doing things differently, with an outspoken manner, they are back with their new single “Following Rainbows” taken from their upcoming 12th studio album Women From W.O.M.B.L.E. Vol. 2 (2015). A departure from the sound they have become synonymous with, this single has been birthed from an unsolitary period of exploration. Instead of the usual sex, drugs and rock n’ roll antics, this track is cut through with 100% legitimate pop melancholy..... a tale of lost love, strange cities and borderless existence.

No. 1 best selling crime writer and Hostage Music protagonist, Martina Cole, met their vocal collaborator on this track, Velatronix, one evening in a local kebab shop. After hearing her sing, she made an introduction to Alabama 3 and “Following Rainbows” was recorded in their Hostage Music Studios later that week. The single will also feature on the Women from W.O.M.B.L.E album, the second volume in their W.O.M.B.L.E series (World Of Militant Beat Liberating Executioners). This record sees Alabama 3 leave a female contingent to front-line the record, giving freedom to the soulful mother’s and sisters of their community to explore the playing field in a male dominated industry. As a 9-1 male-female dominated band, they are curious… can feminism find its place among funky dance floors again? 

Alabama 3’s wild blend of the unthinkable, their proclivity for rock n roll decadence, and acute social conscience has made them a unique, and unstoppable entity in the music industry.  Their twenty year track record has seen them tour extensively all over the world and has included performances on Later With Jools, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Glastonbury and even quirkier events like longtime fan Stephen King’s book launch, to the funerals of the Great Train Robber’s Bruce Reynolds and Ronnie Biggs. Their track “Woke Up This Morning” reached worldwide audiences as the soundtrack for HBO TV series The Sopranos, and their music has also featured in The Simpsons and Hollywood blockbusters like Gone in 60 Seconds.

The band has always had a loyal and devoted following in the UK and with this at hand, Alabama 3 embark on their 19 date 2014 winter tour this November. Rev D. Wayne Love, Larry Love, along with their gnarled and unholy pageant of disfigured carrions, will be unloading disturbing dynamite across the country, sending fans wild with tenacious new tracks along with classic ammunition! It’s time to get back to church…the twisted circus is in town!

Writing Down the Bones Theme

I am not a musician but music plays a very important role in my creative life! I am an artist/designer and music is my companion and my muse in the long hours I spend working in my studio! 
I am immensely impressed and grateful for all the talented and inspiring musicians whose work graces this Cloud, and I will always re-post sounds that I love (and will listen to again) - knowing that others will enjoy them!
I feel slightly embarrassed and quite humbled when I receive such graceful messages of thanks from artists whose work I have re-posted - after-all, I am the one who is so inspired by the discovery of your brilliant music!!!
So thank YOU!!!
Jools :)
P.S. If you want to see where the music takes me there is a link to my Portfolio site on Behance below!!! 
NEW!! - Thanks for all the great feed-back on my work! I shall be re-launching with a website (shop & archive) ‘KULT-JE’ in the not too distant future! Meanwhile, examples of past and current work are featured on my Instagram (@joolselphick)
Since my heart op in Jan2021, I have had to deal with taking quite a lot of meds which have interrupted my design work - that and moving to Germany in 2020 - and back in 2021 (due to Covid my business plans stalled!) - SO, slowly getting it together…. hang tight!😊

I have an archive of my work to date on Instagram - @joolselphick
