HUB The Label, the recorded music division of the HUB Artist Services company, have just announced their second signing with Ireland's Jape set to release their acclaimed Ocean Of Frequency through the label next month.
Jape have won plenty of praise for their twisted take on pop music, with many pundits giving them the title of the “European version of Beck”. The album has already won the Choice Music Prize for Album of the Year – Ireland's equivalent of the Mercury Prize – the second time the band has won the award, with their Ritual album of 2008 winning the prize as well, and it looks like Australia is the next territory the band are hoping to conquer.
The deal with HUB The Label is a two album deal for both Australia and New Zealand. Ocean Of Frequency is set to be released on Friday 28 September and we are expecting to hear news of an Australian tour very soon indeed.
