God, 'Shadow of the Sun' is fucking perfection.

His latest one (True Meanings) seems to mark a bit of a break from the type of material he's been doing over the last 10 years or so - it's basically more of an acoustic guitar led album featuring songs he's been stockpiling for a while because they didn't fit on other albums. There's some nice stuff on it ('Glide', 'Mayfly', 'Old Castles', the opening track) but it's quite a long album and all of the tracks are in the same mould, so it feels like more of a slog than it should. Hopefully it's just a detour and he gets back to making albums like Sonik Kicks and Saturn's Pattern again. The last 10 years of his solo career has had plenty of surprising moments.

Weller (appropriately) playing this week with this flag onstage:

New album is something special, ’In full flight’ is a woozy fever dream of a song.

I don't listen to any of his music, but he's slagged off Starmer as a Tory and has been flying the Palestinian flag at gigs. His politics are at least more coherently left-leaning than some of these appalling UK rock bands almost half his age that have been publicly embarrassing themselves recently.

it's probably my least favourite weller album since a kind revolution but it's still pretty nice
