EVERYTHING IS RECORDED // CUT OFF YOUR NOSE EP
TITLE TRACK FT. JAH WOBBLE
JAH WOBBLE UK DATES // AUTUMN 2026
EVERYTHING IS RECORDED – producer Richard Russell’s ever-evolving artist project – release the Cut Off Your Nose EP via XL Recordings on 14 August. Spotlighting fresh new voices while recruiting celebrated past collaborators, the EP sees Russell joined by Jah Wobble, Roses Gabor, Samantha Morton, Rian Brazil, IDK and Peter Gabriel across four tracks that map the full breadth of his restless creative vision.
At the EP’s centre is new single Cut Off Your Nose, featuring legendary musician Jah Wobble, who contributed to two tracks on the Everything Is Recorded 2025 album Temporary. An equally prolific presence in his own right, Wobble has lent his one-of-a-kind bass playing to the likes of Public Image Ltd, Bill Laswell and Primal Scream’s Screamadelica, alongside more recent outings with Ken Boothe, Jon Klein and Tian Qiyi.
On Cut Off Your Nose, Russell places him front and centre as lead vocalist and bassist on a track that distils elements of grime and breaks into a prowling, gut-punch collision of genres. It’s accompanied by a striking Ed Morris-directed video.

“Jah Wobble’s bass has been a foundation of so much music I love. He’s an incredible collaborator, a musical hero who’s a joy to work with – so much knowledge and humour. For Cut Off Your Nose we talked about him being the vocalist as well as the bassist, and he didn’t hesitate. Same conviction, same weight.”
— Richard Russell
“Working with Richard has been like a breath of fresh air for me. His sessions are always fun, imaginative and idiosyncratic. He’s a smart cookie, never on autopilot. The way he works is reminiscent of the great Holger Czukay. He understands the importance of ‘the moment’. That’s a pretty rare quality in itself.”
— Jah Wobble
CUT OFF YOUR NOSE EP
- Cut Off Your Nose ft. Jah Wobble
- One With The Sky ft. Roses Gabor
- Ode To Her ft. Samantha Morton and Rian Brazil
- Beyond The Brilliant Haze ft. IDK and Peter Gabriel
One With The Sky is a DJ-friendly, garage-inspired song, its contrasting feelings of optimism and loss in Roses Gabor’s vocal set against Russell’s bass and drums amid moving keys courtesy of Laura Groves.
Ode To Her pairs Samantha Morton – who released Daffodils & Dirt as a duo with Russell in 2024 – with burgeoning Brighton-born UK rap talent Rian Brazil, hot on the heels of his 2026 EP engine heartbreak. The track is built around a chorus Morton woke up with, fully formed one morning, with Brazil’s laconic vocal adding further layers to its narcotic haze.
Rounding off the EP is Beyond The Brilliant Haze, featuring Maryland rapper IDK and Peter Gabriel. The collaboration extends a prior partnership between Gabriel and Russell, who co-produced Four Kinds Of Horses on Gabriel’s 2023 album i/o, his first UK No. 1 in over 30 years.
IDK – born Jason Mills and dubbed “the polymath of rap” by Forbes – brings the maximalist adventurousness of records like Is He Real? and USEE4YOURSELF, having previously worked with Tyler, The Creator and Pusha T. The track brings together three artists from different worlds into something genuinely unexpected.
JAH WOBBLE
Also on 14 August, Jah Wobble and his sons John T Wardle and Charlie Wardle – who perform together as Tian Qiyi – release their new album Mystic Liverpool: The Beatles Psychedelic Psongbook via Cherry Red Records, a deeply personal reimagining of The Beatles’ psychedelic period framed within Chinese, Mongolian and dub traditions.
Mystic Liverpool draws on Jah Wobble’s signature dub bass; John T’s drums, Chinese percussion and yangqin; and Charlie’s erhu and vocals. The boys’ mother, Zi Lan Liao – a Royal Academy of Music-trained harpist and director of Pagoda Arts in Liverpool – plays guzheng.
The album was recorded and mixed by John T at Pagoda Studios in Liverpool, where Tian Qiyi are based, with production from Jah Wobble, John T and Charlie.
The album moves through The Beatles’ psychedelic-era songbook with Chinese instrumentation and dub-inflected mixing, treating the material as the genuinely mystical music it always was rather than simply nostalgic covers. Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and Magical Mystery Tour are particular touchstones.
