PETER ALEXANDER JOBSON - 'BURN THE RATION BOOKS OF LOVE' BIOG: By Tim Cooper With his Northumberland accent and a voice that tells the tale of two decades in smoke-filled rooms followed by late-night drinking sessions, his vocals answer the question: what if Serge Gainsbourg had been born in the North East of England? Inspirations include Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Lou Reed and Scott Walker, blues and country legends like Robert Johnson and Hank Williams, and Northern entertainers of days past like Les Dawson and the great Jake Thackray. All those influences come to bear on the first solo album by Jobson, who made his name as bass guitarist and keyboard player in I Am Kloot. After six albums and 16 successful years together the cult trio of Jobson, drummer Andy Hargreaves and singer/guitarist John Bramwell broke up after a final triumphant performance at the Royal Festival Hall as part of the 2016 Meltdown Festival on London’s South Bank. Kloot built a fervent following both in the UK and across Europe, culminating in a Mercury Music Prize nomination for their lavish fifth album, Sky At Night - produced by Elbow’s Guy Garvey and Craig Potter in 2010.
