âLyrical messagingâs as sharp as everâ MOJOÂ
âThe Selecter have lost none of their creative fire or furyâ VIVE LE ROCK 9/10
Itâs been 43 years since the release of The Selecterâs seminal debut album Too Much Pressure and while it still inspires and resonates today, their new studio album Human Algebra keeps the fire burning with a stellar collection of hard-hitting tracks in the bandâs own inimitable style. Human Algebra, released April 21st, is a word from the wise â from questioning âfake newsâ (âBig Little Liesâ), to pointing the finger at keyboard warriors (âArmchair Guevaraâ), and the scourge of knife crime (âHuman Algebraâ). Human relationships are also touched upon (âBoxing Cleverâ), along with a touching tribute to the late great Ranking Roger from The Beat (âParade The Crownâ).
As ever, The Selecter are led by their iconic frontwoman Pauline Black OBE and co-fronted by original member Arthur âGapsâ Hendrickson with original drummer Charley âAitchâ Bembridge. Human Algebra is produced by Neil Pyzer, who also contributes Sax, Guitar and keyboards. The rest of the band feature John Robertson on Guitar, Lee Horsley on organ and Andy Pearson on bass duties
