PAUL WELLER - 22 DREAMS 2LP

Originally released in 2008 - 22 Dreams is Paul Weller’s 9th studio album. The album features Oasis stars Noel Gallagher and Gem Archer as well as Steve Cradock (Ocean Colour Scene) and Blur guitarist Graham Coxon. The record is, apparently, an attempt to capture the changing of the seasons. The results are startling. Weller is still embracing rock, soul and jazz-funk, but there are new genres previously unexplored on his solo projects: electronica, krautrock and spoken word. The themes (love, the breakdown of relationships, the passing of time) may be familiar but the music is often experimental.
