Product Details

Birmingham's most soulful export has always worn its influences openly, tracing a lineage from Stax and Muscle Shoals through to the sweatiest corners of the modern jam circuit. Janeway's voice has never been a subtle instrument, but here it carries something heavier than showmanship, a father reckoning with the weight of new life. Sam Phillips Recording Studio has a way of drawing that kind of honesty out of people.


When Paul Janeway learned he was going to be a father he decided to scribe his thoughts—joy, fear, confusion—as messages to his then-unborn daughter. Those letters became Angels in Science Fiction, the stunning 5th LP from St. Paul & The Broken Bones. Produced by Matt Ross-Spang (Jason Isbell, Margo Price) at the legendary Sam Phillips Recording Studio in Memphis. It finds the band stretching further out, building on the shadowy psychedelia and intricate, experimental R&B of the The Alien Coast.
