About Jah Wobble

Jah Wobble is one of the genuine musical polymaths to emerge from the post-punk era. His dub-heavy style weds reggae, jazz, funk, punk, and numerous global folk traditions. First emerging as the bassist in Public Image Ltd., he left to pursue an idiosyncratic musical path beginning with 1980's The Legend Lives On. He scored a success with 1991's Mercury Prize-nominated Rising Above Bedlam, created with his group Invaders of the Heart. Wobble put the outfit to bed in 2003 for a long series of solo and collaborative discs. In 2019, they reunited to record with Bill Laswell on Realm of Spells, while in 2021, Wobble's Metal Box [Rebuilt in Dub] revisited PiL's hugely influential 1979 album. Wobble issued three albums in 2023 -- the post-punk A Brief History of Now, a set of spontaneous sketches titled The Bus Routes of South London, and the atmospheric and impressionistic Thames Symphony.
