St. Paul & The Broken Bones Share New Single “Sitting In The Corner”

ST. PAUL & THE BROKEN BONES SHARE NEW SINGLE “SITTING IN THE CORNER” 6TH STUDIO ALBUM, THE SELF TITLED ST. PAUL & THE BROKEN BONES, OUT OCTOBER 10 VIA THEIR OWN LABEL OASIS PIZZA RECORDS, DISTRIBUTED BY THIRTY TIGERS CONFIRM TOUR OF THE UK & EU

Today, St. Paul & The Broken Bones, who NPR Music has hailed as “one of the nation’s best live bands,” share “Sitting In The Corner, ” the latest single from their forthcoming 6th studio album, the self-titled St. Paul & The Broken Bones (October 10th, Oasis Pizza Records). Paul Janeway shares about the song,"‘Sitting In The Corner’ comes from this idea of just having vocals and a saxophone at the top of it. We wrote the song and didn’t think that it would make the record, but when we were working with our producer Eg, he put a 70’s superfly vibe in the chorus. It ended up making it one of my favorites on the record. It’s a really fun one." Listen to “Sitting In The Corner” here.   The band will release their 6th studio album, the self-titled St. Paul & The Broken Bones, on October 10th via their own label Oasis Pizza Records, distributed by Thirty Tigers. The album, from the ever-evolving Southern-soul giants, signifies both a reinvention and a reunion, stretching out with the confident experimental spirit of The Alien Coast and (2022) and Angels in Science Fiction (2023), but with a warmer, accessible and fun sound that recalls the exuberance and buoyancy of their breakout debut, Half the City (2014).  "It’s the outcome of the book we wrote with the last records," Janeway says, "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. Before, the band thought, 'How far can we take it?'" Now? "It’s 'What is the band great at? What lessons have we learned?’" St. Paul & The Broken Bones is available for pre-order on all formats here.   The band recently announced their tour of the UK and Europe in January and February of 2026 in cities including Manchester, Glasgow, London, Paris, Berlin, Copenhagen, and more. Tickets for all dates are on sale now here.   With the new LP, co-written and produced with the decorated Eg White (Adele, Florence + The Machine, Sam Smith) and tracked with the band – consisting of Janeway, Phillips, guitarist Browan Lollar, drummer Kevin Leon, keyboardist Al Gamble, trumpeter Allen Branstetter, saxophonist Amari Ansari, and trombonist Chad Fisher— at the renowned FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, the band decided to stop pushing so hard and simply focus on classic "song craft." For Janeway, these 10 thrilling tunes feel like "comfort food," like hanging out at a "great barbecue joint."   The album follows 2023’s Angels In Science Fiction and with that vibrant era in the rear view, there was an opportunity to regroup, which resulted in a return to their roots, if through a circuitous path. Janeway started collaborating with a series of co-writers and featured artists, eventually finding the perfect partner in White: a prolific, London-based pop-rock veteran who’s co-written and produced hits with stars like Adele ("Chasing Pavements") and Celine Dion ("Water and a Flame"). Aided by that expert ear, Janeway finished a batch of new music he was proud of—but he pivoted back to full-band mode in January ’24, regrouping with his old friends at FAME Studios, where they’d mixed their debut, Half the City, over a decade earlier.   It had been several years since they'd written together in this format and the session and Phillips asked an intriguing question: 'Hey, man, can I hear some of the stuff you wrote with Eg White?" Janeway was initially reluctant to bring this music "into the band sphere," but his co-founder convinced him otherwise. They dusted off some of those tracks, melding them with the new group-written material "Basically our philosophy for the record was 'best song wins,'" the frontman says.   The resulting songs felt like a comforting hug, lived in, confident, and fun. "Fall Moon," includes a rippling Hammond organ and nostalgic brass; the bluesy "I saw the light" with a chorus of the swaggering "Ooo-Wee"; the stabbing electric keys and signature falsetto sweetness on "I Think You Should Know"; the deep-pocket bass and growling hooks on "Nothing More Lonely"; the breezy slice-of-life that is "Seagulls," St. Paul still branches out in subtle ways stretching out the experimental muscles the band has developed over the years.   With St. Paul & the Broken Bones, Janeway felt like they’d taken their sonic searching as far it could go—or at least "without doing some kind of death-metal album." But it raised a lot of important questions: "'What are we doing? What is the band now?’ You go through that kind of identity-crisis stuff. What is the band, and is this still creatively satisfying?" The answer is a resounding yes. "Making this record was a long journey, but I think it’s one of those rare times where it felt really worth it," Janeway says. "It feels very much like a renewed energy. And who knows? We might make our death metal record next."   ST. PAUL & THE BROKEN- ST.
