about

The third single from the forthcoming Telefís album ‘a hAon’ finds band members Jacknife Lee and Cathal Coughlan collaborating with legendary post-punk bass maestro Jah Wobble (Public Image Limited, Invaders Of The Heart). What started as a disarmingly quiet and reflective song with vocals and ghostly piano chords has been transformed into a deep-dub odyssey with Wobble’s signature low-end bass runs anchoring crisp percussion and panoramic space-echo effects.

On the collaboration Jacknife notes…"there are few bass players as iconic as Jah Wobble. I have studied and tried to copy his style for decades but never really got close. Brian from Dimple Discs suggested we ask him to get on "Falun Gong Dancer" but I didn’t believe it would happen. We are still shocked that he agreed to collaborate with us and are excited for it to be heard”

Cathal Coughlan elaborates…"Even a relatively obscure musical life such as mine can fortunately bring pinch-yourself moments of proximity to greatness, and so it is with Jah Wobble's transformative contribution to this version of "Falun Gong Dancer". The song was already a high-point of the first Telefís album, but in this version it goes somewhere else entirely, thanks to JW's signature contribution”
