In rock-music mythos, the self-titled album is a line in the sand—typically signifying a reinvention, a reunion, or a return to roots. St. Paul & The Broken Bones, the sixth LP from Birmingham’s ever-evolving Southern-soul giants, is somehow all of these things at once—carrying forward the experimental spirit of their back-to-back heavyweights The Alien Coast and (2022) Angels in Science Fiction (2023), but with a warmer, more accessible vibe that recalls the fun, exuberance, and buoyancy of their breakout debut, Half the City (2014), and beloved follow-ups Sea of Noise (2016) and Young Sick Camellia (2018) . As singer and co-founder Paul Janeway puts it, these 10 songs represent a "reset and a refresh" after a frenetic few years.

"It’s the outcome of the book we wrote with the last records," he says, surveying the band’s evolution into period that touched on art-rock structures, stoner metal atmosphere, and rap beats. "[The self-titled album] is what the band is now. I think the band in general feels reignited. I’ve had this conversation with [bassist and co-founder] Jesse [Phillips], who said, 'I don’t know where we can take this. But we have the opportunity to make any kind of record we want."
