St. Paul / Broken Bones - St. Paul & The Broken Bones (Opaque Fuscia LP) (Pink Vinyl)

St. Paul & the Broken Bones (Opaque Fuscia LP) In rock-music mythos, the self-titled album is a line in the sand-typically signifying a reinvention, a reunion, or a return to roots. St. Paul & the Broken Bones, the sixth LP from Birmingham's ever-evolving Southern-soul giants, is somehow all of these things at once-carrying forward the experimental spirit of their back-to-back heavyweights The Alien Coast and (2022) Angels in Science Fiction (2023), but with a warmer, more accessible vibe that recalls the fun, exuberance, and buoyancy of their breakout debut, Half the City (2014), and beloved follow-ups Sea of Noise (2016) and Young Sick Camellia (2018). As singer and co-founder Paul Janeway puts it, these 10 songs represent a ""reset and a refresh"" after a frenetic few years.
