Paul Weller - On Sunset

It’s fast becoming one of the more common clichés in British rock, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth highlighting: Paul Weller has been on a rich vein of form for fifteen years, his solo career redeeming itself (at least in his own eyes) over the course of the 1990s before becoming slightly rudderless at the turn of the century.

Buoyed by the success of As Is Now in 2005, with an energy and vitality that had been missing, Weller has since felt no obligation to return to the mod/soul formula he long since mastered.

On Sunset is a reaction to his last album – the reflective, pastoral True Meanings. Where that 2018 effort was restrained and simple, this new slice reveals itself to be more of a challenge, but with better rewards over time.
