St Paul And The Broken Bones Angels In Science Fiction Vinyl

When Paul Janeway learned he was going to be a father, he was struck by "divine inspiration." Following the tradition of greats like Aristotle, William James and John Steinbeck, who wrote letters to their future sons, the singer decided to scribe his own thoughts — of joy, of fear, of confusion — as messages to his then-unborn daughter.

Those letters ultimately became Angels in Science Fiction, the stunning fifth LP from his band, Alabama genre-benders St. Paul & the Broken Bones.

Angels in Science Fiction stretches the band’s limbs further out from their early southern-soul style, building on the shadowy psychedelia and intricate, experimental R&B of recent LPs like 2022’s The Alien Coast.
