About the Artist

Jowe Head esquire - founder member of the late lamented SWELL MAPS, and also Dan Treacy's long-time partner in the TELEVISION PERSONALITIES has his first CD of solo material released by Overground Records.

Entitled ‘JOWE HEAD – UNHINGED’ it features the man crooning ‘Istanbul Not Constantinople’, (since recorded by They Might Be Giants) and ‘Frenzy’ (originally a Screaming Jay Hawkins number).

The man’s own tunes on this album include belters such as ‘Marzipan’ and ‘Shoe-Horn’, crooning smoothies like ‘Sudden Shower’ and ‘Lolita’, the fried beat poetry of ‘Shiny Black Shirt’, and ambient weirdness like ‘Townshy’ and ‘Crabs On Land’.

Three bonus live tracks are also included, recorded at a show in Hamburg 1990 with members of BINGO SALAD.

The CD is packaged in a wonderful full colour sleeve designed by Jowe.
