Paul Weller<\/strong> is the star of our latest free CD, Movin On<\/em><\/strong>, available with the September 2025<\/strong> issue of Uncut<\/em><\/strong>, in shops now.<\/p>\n

The 10-track album includes rarities, deep cuts and B-sides, including blistering six-minute closer \u201cI Work In The Clouds\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

There have been few artists who have had a career quite like Weller\u2019s \u2013 not least in his stunning move into kaleidoscopic experimentation in his middle age. After last year\u2019s impressive 66<\/em><\/strong>, he\u2019s now returned with Find El Dorado<\/em><\/strong>, a covers album that\u2019s much more than that: a \u201cdeeply personal new album of reinterpretations\u201d, it shines a light on some of Weller\u2019s own favourite songs, from the well-known \u2013 The Kinks\u2019 \u201cNobody\u2019s Fool\u201d to the Bee Gees\u2019 \u201cI Started A Joke\u201d \u2013 to the obscure \u2013 especially \u201cLawdy Rolla\u201d, by French studio group The Guerillas.<\/p>\n

To mark the new record, we\u2019ve put together, in conjunction with the man himself, this survey of rarities and album tracks from one of his golden periods of exploration. It spans the eclectic, overdriven funk and fuzz rock of 2015\u2019s Saturns Pattern<\/em><\/strong>, his gritty 2017 soundtrack to Jawbone<\/em><\/strong> and the psychedelic soul and jazz of the same year\u2019s A Kind Revolution<\/em><\/strong>, and the acoustic, elegiac True Meanings<\/em><\/strong> (2018), drenched in strings.<\/p>\n

Along the way, we\u2019ll hear tender balladry give way to motorik frenzy, electronic gospel melt into dub, and much more. Plus, there\u2019s a taste of the new Find El Dorado<\/em>, courtesy of the superb \u201cLawdy Rolla\u201d. Dig in.<\/p>\n

See below for more on the tracklisting\u2026<\/p>\n

ORDER A COPY FROM US HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

1 Glide (Instrumental)<\/strong>
We begin with this version from the deluxe expanded edition of 2018\u2019s True Meanings<\/em><\/strong>, a waltzing acoustic reverie as gorgeous as anything Weller\u2019s ever put his name to. As the fingerpicked notes from two acoustic guitars entangle, harp and pastoral strings blossom, before the whole thing\u2019s done in just over two minutes.<\/p>\n

2 The Ballad Of Jimmy McCabe<\/strong>
Hard to believe, but Jawbone (Music From The Film)<\/em><\/strong> is the first ever soundtrack Weller has tried his hand at. It\u2019s not to be slept on, though: one of the highlights is this robust acoustic ballad, hinting at the desperation and struggles of the film\u2019s lead character. The music suggests an ancient folk ballad, which works to place McCabe\u2019s struggles in a long line of hard times for the working classes.<\/p>\n

3 I Spy<\/strong>
This slice of lilting folk-rock debuted as the B-side of Saturns Pattern<\/em><\/strong>\u2019s \u201cGoing My Way\u201d, but also appeared on 2022\u2019s collection of rarities, Will Of The People<\/em><\/strong>. It\u2019s perfectly poised, reminiscent of the bucolic psychedelia of Traffic with its lazy sway, prominent bass guitar, \u201960s organ, piano, Echoplex effects and \u2013 of course \u2013 Weller\u2019s peerless soulful vocals.<\/p>\n

4 Sun Goes<\/strong>
The B-side to Saturns Pattern<\/em><\/strong>\u2019s title track, \u201cSun Goes\u201d is another demonstration of Weller\u2019s melancholic, acoustic side \u2013 and yet, there\u2019s a deeply lovely touch of cosmic Scouse psychedelia to it, from the sea shanty chords and the wandering electric lead guitar to the spaghetti western choir. It\u2019s proof, should it be needed, that Weller\u2019s muse flourishes within almost any style.<\/p>\n

5 Hopper (White Label Remix)<\/strong>
A reworking that first appeared on the deluxe version of 2017\u2019s A Kind Revolution<\/em><\/strong>, this remix turns the New Orleans shuffle of the original into a piece of atmospheric dub. It proves to be a fine accompaniment to Weller\u2019s vocals, hymning the magic of Edward Hopper\u2019s late-night, nightlife paintings. \u201cIn late night bars the ghost of Hopper\/Paints in such melancholy colours\u2026<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

6 The Soul Searchers (Richard Hawley Remix)<\/strong>
Opening True Meanings<\/em><\/strong>, this co-write and collaboration with Villagers\u2019 Conor O\u2019Brien<\/strong> came on like Pentangle collaborating with Ennio Morricone; in its remix by the Sheffield songwriter and guitarist Richard Hawley<\/strong>, it\u2019s given a pulsing disco workout. Over tight drums and looping bass, Weller\u2019s vocal echoes serenely before lush, sour strings flood the dancefloor.<\/p>\n

7 Movin On<\/strong>
The lead single from True Meanings<\/em><\/strong> is one of the most heartfelt, pure songs Weller has written. There\u2019s no time for experimentation here, no room for genre collisions that would blunt the focused lyrics: \u201cI\u2019ve got love all around\/I don\u2019t need nothing else\u2026<\/em>\u201d Instead, his soaring vocals are backed by acoustic guitar, jazzy drums and the kind of ornate strings and horns that surrounded Nick Drake on Bryter Layter<\/em> (no wonder, then, that Weller worked with Drake\u2019s arranger Robert Kirby on 2000\u2019s Heliocentric<\/strong><\/em>).<\/p>\n

8 Praise If You Wanna<\/strong>
Taken from the deluxe edition of A Kind Revolution<\/em><\/strong>, this brief snippet \u2013 a mantra meets jam, like something from the third LP of All Things Must Pass<\/em> cut down to its essence \u2013 is written by Weller and all of his band, including longtime lead guitarist Steve Cradock<\/strong>. A bluesy gospel shuffle, scattershot with some deliciously retro guitar runs, it builds and builds until a rising synth note brings it to a premature close.<\/p>\n

9 Lawdy Rolla<\/strong>
Seemingly cat-nip for Weller, this obscure single by French group The Guerillas <\/strong>mixed jazz, soul and rock before vanishing into cult obscurity. Weller has brought it back into the light on his new covers album, Find El Dorado<\/em>, and toned down its more fractious chants into a rolling, swinging groove. At key moments, especially the transcendent coda, London-born saxophonist Awoifaleke (Kevin) Haynes<\/strong> weaves spiritual, sinuous lead lines.<\/p>\n

10 I Work In The Clouds<\/strong>
A hard to find rarity, only available currently on the Japanese edition of Saturns Pattern<\/em><\/strong>, this barnstorming krautrock epic (spanning almost six minutes) deserves to be heard more widely. Again written with all of Weller\u2019s regular band, it pirouettes between two chords, the spoken-word verses painting a faintly dystopian picture of disconnection in a high-rise office. Unhinged lead guitar spits and sparks over the relentless drums and bass, thrillingly raw.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
