22 Dreams

A sprawling, 22-track odyssey through pastoral psych-folk, soulful rock, and avant-garde interludes. Weller’s most experimental and creatively liberated work.

It's like Weller took a psychedelic trip through the English woods and brought back 22 different postcards.

A restless but deeply soulful exploration of nature and the subconscious through a kaleidoscope of genres.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The motorik, driving intensity of Echoes Round the Sun that feels like a sudden burst of heat in a cool room.

The delicate, jazz-influenced piano textures of Song for Alice that provide a moment of pure instrumental grace.

The transition from the brief seasonal interlude of track 9 into the soulful, deep resonance of Black River.
