Paul Weller has played a big role on the new Stone Foundation album, out on March 31st.
Street Rituals was produced by Weller, who also contributed piano, guitars and vocals throughout the ten-song tracklist, including a lead take on Your Balloon Is Rising which is below.
“Paul contacted us at the start of 2016 after hearing our last record,” the band’s Neil Jones remembers. “He wanted to know if we’d like to get involved with a demo he’d been working on and we obviously grasped the opportunity with both hands. ‘The Limit of a Man’ was born out of those early exchanges and from that point onwards we never looked back.”
“Paul pretty much joined the band for the recording sessions, playing guitar, piano and adding vocals to several songs as well as overseeing the production of the record.”
The hook-up will continue at the Royal Albert Hall in March, when Stone Foundation are to support Weller’s Teenage Cancer Trust gig.
