This soulfully psychedelic offering is perhaps the most intriguing track of the three that Paul Weller has so far revealed from his upcoming 'Saturns Pattern' album.Released on May 11. It will be his 12th studio album and the first since 2012's 'Sonik Kicks'. "I think it's one of the best things I've done. And it's been a pleasure doing it. There's been no headaches," Weller said. "I can't compare it to any of my other albums. I think it's different not just for me, but different from what else is around. It's been pretty quick, really. We did a bit of work before the summer, then I took a break because I was out on the road. We started back in October. It's taken us a couple of months, maybe." Weller has said that the album is "certainly progressive in the literal sense of the word. It's defiantly 21st Century music."
Paul Weller has announced the release of his 12th solo album, which will be released in May and titled 'Saturn’s Pattern'. Described as “defiantly 21st century” and "modern psychedelic music", it's his first LP since 2012’s 'Sonik Kicks'. Weller has also said that the album is “certainly progressive in the literal sense of the word”. You can already hear a few traks via his Facbook and Twitter pages, which are linked below/ Until then here's a very underrated single from 1997, which is in fact the first Weller CD I ever bought. Taken from his 1997 album 'Heavy Soul', the superb 'Brushed' reached number 14 in the charts. 'Heavy Soul' would have been a number 1 album had it not been for a technicality involving five photos from the CD booklet being reproduced as postcards in the Special Edition release, which meant that sales of the Special Edition did not count towards the album's sales as the postcards were classed as free gifts. Not fair.
The Modfather himself Paul Weller returns with his brand new album 'Saturn's Pattern' on May 11. It will be his 12th studio album and the first since 2012's 'Sonik Kicks'. It will comprise of nine tracks, including this heaving blast of space-age blues-rock that Weller has unveiled as the first taste of the LP. "I think it's one of the best things I've done. And it's been a pleasure doing it. There's been no headaches," Weller said. "I can't compare it to any of my other albums. I think it's different not just for me, but different from what else is around. It's been pretty quick, really. We did a bit of work before the summer, then I took a break because I was out on the road. We started back in October. It's taken us a couple of months, maybe." Excitingly, 'Saturn’s Pattern' features a “kazoo through a fuzzbox” and was recorded with his usual bandmates Steve Cradock and Andy Lewis, as well as members of psychedelic jazz group Syd Arthur. Weller has said that the album is "certainly progressive in the literal sense of the word. It's defiantly 21st Century music."
