about

Rob Clarke, of Wooltones fame, returns to Aldora Britain Records with a three-tracker taster of his brand new studio album, Blues Beats And Brel.

Blues Beats And Brel snapshots an opposing side to Rob Clarke's artistry to what he normally showcases. The garage soul and Merseybeat revival is temporarily replaced with shuffling blues, noir chamber pop, and chanson-tinged psychedelia. It is an interesting and appealing cocktail. Not only that, but this three-track offering is totally unique in today's mundane musical climate. Thanks for the brilliance, Rob, thank you!

For fans of Jacques Brel, Lee Hazlewood, Serge Gainsbourg, Scott Walker, and Tom Waits.

Rob Clarke: "After a series of band albums, it seemed like a good idea to try another solo thing but with some new influences. So, here comes Blues Beats And Brel. It's a stripped back solo recording on a diet of old blues records, beat poetry, and Jacques Brel accordion sandwiches as I struggle to make sense of the world outside... which pretty much sums up what's been going on for all of us."
