Stanley Road

Paul Weller

A definitive peak of the Britpop era that swaps trendy irony for deep-seated soul, heavy Hammond organs, and the grit of English suburban life.

It's the ultimate 'dad rock' album, but in the way that makes you realize your dad actually had impeccable taste and a soul.

A confident, soulful reflection on maturity and roots wrapped in warm, saturated analog tones.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The heavy, distorted guitar riff of The Changingman crashing in against a soulful backbeat.
The transition into the gospel-tinged piano coda during the final minute of Broken Stones.
The psychedelic, swampy groove of the Dr. John cover I Walk on Gilded Splinters where the organ takes flight.
