Paul Weller - Sonik Kicks

18 Mar 2012 - 22 Mar 2012 / Roundhouse Main Space

Enjoying a constant critical high and a never ending creative peak, Paul Weller continues to push the boundaries with his new album Sonik Kicks, due for release on 26 March 2012. This is the follow up to the Mercury Music Award nominated Wake Up The Nation and Paul’s eleventh solo album. Once again, it's his best yet. 

If you’d like a taste of what’s to come, head to paulweller.com now where you can check out the album track Around The Lake. The track is set to an excellent sequence from a short film called 24hrs, Pavey Ark directed by Mike Moloney & John Hooper which Paul is massively in to.

Sonik Kicks features appearances from the likes of Noel Gallagher and Graham Coxon. The 14 tracks you can look forward to are: Green / The Attic / Kling I Klang / Sleep of the Serene / By the Waters / That Dangerous Age/ Study in Blue / Dragonfly / When Your Garden’s Overgrown / Around The Lake / Twilight / Drifters / Paperchase / Be Happy Children

With Sonik Kicks Paul Weller once again shakes up his palate and stirs his influences anew. He mixes pop art punch with soulful communication; jazzy explorations into psychedelia and dub with razor-sharp melodies and abstract soundscapes with clear-eyed forest-folk.

Weller isn’t one to wait 20 years to be invited to perform his ‘classic’ album. He would rather do it here and now, there’s no need for nostalgia to play its part. So Sonik Kicks will be performed in full at the Roundhouse from 18-22 March 2012.
