Paul WellerRight here, right now, let’s stop calling Paul Weller ‘The Modfather’.
No disrespect to his monumental success with The Jam in the ‘70s, but comparing Saturns Pattern to his classic output is akin to saying the new Harley Davidson Livewire Electric is just like a Vespa. With psychedelic busybodies Amorphous Androgynous noodling the furious White Sky and bluegrass reeds weaving through In The Car (surely earning a respectful nod from Jack White), this is very much a modern record drawing on a galaxy of musical influences. Weller hasn’t sounded this gutsy in years.
