Alabama eight-piece St Paul & The Broken Bones pack a soulful punch with their sound.
Blending gospel, R&B, rock’n’roll, funk and psychedelia, the band’s latest release The Alien Coast reflects the times with its narratives.
Yet whilst frontman Paul Janeway’s lyrics meditate on dystopian realities and the record offers a pensive fever dream, the group still captures a psychedelic radiance in the music.
And throughout it all, as on previous records, there is an intuitive collaborative musicianship which harnesses a captivating power.
