St. Paul & the Broken Bones
THE ALIEN COAST
Over the course of, the infectious, disco-tinged lead single, “The Last Dance,” sets the stage for a mega suite of songs that are the octet’s most musically adventurous to date. Think Al Green paired with the atmospheric grandeur of Pink Floyd and a dash of Outkast funk. It takes a few listens (a headphone session is a must), but the album gradually reveals its slow-burning genius. Bonus: These songs will kill it live, where the group really shines.
