Product Details

Paul Janeway's voice has always carried the weight of someone who grew up in the church and never fully left, even as St. Paul & The Broken Bones pushed deeper into restless, shape-shifting territory. Recording at Sam Phillips' studio puts them in the company of a Memphis legacy that understood how to make music feel both intimate and enormous, a tension this Birmingham band has been chasing since their earliest shows.

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.
