Paul Weller - In Another Room EP

  Quote

In Another Room is a four track 7″ EP by very special guest, Paul Weller. On Ghost Box, Weller finds the perfect home to explore his interest in experimental tape music and early electronics. The four tracks here though are more than just experiments and build a subtly melancholic atmosphere from field recordings and melodic instrumental fragments.

Previews and pre-orders available in December, released late January 2020.

And a new Belbury Poly album next year!

Jeez, this just came out yesterday, and the discogs prices have already shit the bed.  Reminds me of when Warp used to release singles, and delete them the same day.

Is it any good though? Saw it mentioned in Electronic Sound mag. Cool that he has decided to go down this route.

It's your typical found sounds / fart collection, ala anything on Ghost Box , or Children of Alice, Folklore Tapes.  I think really just his name recognition sold it, surprised they didn't go RSD with this one, maybe for the best.

I heard it. Pleasant but very short tracks. It's the kind of stuff that anyone on Ghost Box could probably knock out in their sleep. It's definitely the name that's sold it.

that's an understatement. it's 8min long. 

reminds me a lot of that free ep that lost tapes record club put out for free. 

Paul Weller is fucking awful and I refuse to listen to this.
