Drummer Paul Hose Releases “Anthology Volume One”: A Musical Journey Through Time and Space
Celebrated drummer Paul Hose is thrilled to announce the release of his latest album, Anthology Volume One: A Collection of Musical Stories, available worldwide on all streaming platforms from 12 December 2024.

Anthology Volume One is much more than a collection of tracks—it’s a sonic journey across diverse landscapes, from the golden age of Hollywood and 1970s cop shows to the intimacy of theatre and the unknown realms of futuristic space travel. Featuring collaborations with guitarist Lee Wrathe and producer Dan Dodson, as well as a special appearance by Jack Hose, each track showcases a unique musical scene, brought to life through Hose’s imaginative compositions and eclectic instrumentation.
Reflecting on the album’s inspiration, Paul Hose describes Anthology Volume One as a “homecoming,” a project that reconnected him to his roots in music and allowed him to rediscover the joy of creating. “This album is deeply personal,” Hose shares. “It was born out of a need to reconnect with the music that has been a constant companion since my childhood. Over the years, my focus shifted towards education and helping others achieve their musical dreams, but in doing so, my own creative voice grew quiet. This album marks the beginning of a new chapter in my life, and I couldn’t be prouder of the result.”
The seeds of Anthology Volume One were planted during a series of conversations with fellow musicians in San Diego and Los Angeles in 2022. A trip to Copenhagen and a small gig in Hose’s hometown of Nottingham in 2023 reignited his passion, eventually leading to the building of a small studio and the collaboration with Dodson, which brought the project to life. Recorded using cutting-edge tools like Ableton Live, Roland SPD-SX machines, and the East West Opus sound libraries, the album integrates AI and contributions from an array of musical colleagues, producing a soundscape that is both innovative and timeless.
Paul Hose extends heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported his journey, saying;
This album is for anyone who dares to dream but sometimes hesitates to pursue it. My message is simple: time is too precious a commodity to waste. Go for it!
Anthology Volume One is available from 12 December 2024, on all major streaming platforms and in CD format. Deluxe Edition pre-orders are available now.
