DMF Records

The Selecter is a 2 Tone ska group that was formed in 1979 in Coventry, England. After releasing their second album, the original band split up in 1981.
In 1991, Neol Davies and Pauline Black reformed The Selecter with new musicians and toured with their classic repertoire. Two years later, Neol Davis left, leaving Pauline Black to lead The Selecter through the 90's up to 2004 with the help of original Producer Roger Lomas.
In 2010, Davies started a new band and began performing as 'Neol Davies aka The Selecter', while Pauline Black reunited with Arthur "Gaps" Hendrickson to record a new Selecter album titled 'Made In Britain' and resumed touring. They continue to perform together to this day.

Back In Stock

It’s been 43 years since the release of The Selecter’s 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 band’s own inimitable style. Human Algebra, released April 21st, is a word from the wise – from questioning ‘fake news’ (“Big Little Lies”), to pointing the finger at keyboard warriors (“Armchair Guevara”), and the scourge of knife crime (“Human Algebra”). Human relationships are also touched upon (“Boxing Clever”), along with a touching tribute to the late great Ranking Roger from The Beat (“Parade The Crown”).

As ever, The Selecter are led by their iconic frontwoman Pauline Black OBE and co-fronted by original member Arthur ‘Gaps’ Hendrickson with original drummer Charley ‘Aitch’ 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.
