PAUL WEBB AKA RUSTIN MAN
The founding bassist of Talk Talk, Paul Webb formed experimental duo .O.rang with Talk Talk’s drummer Lee Harris after the band broke up in 1991, later making cult classic Out Of Season as Beth Gibbons And Rustin Man with Portishead’s singer. Since that album in 2002, Paul has stayed silent. He’s finally back with debut solo album Drift Code, again as Rustin Man.
We spoke to Paul shortly before the death was announced of his Talk Talk bandmate, Mark Hollis… Does it feel like 17 years since Out Of Season?
