I moaned about Lord Wellers previous cover version exploits, but in todays climate of acerbic guitar tricks and indie credibility, the Modfather (1979 version) picks up his Rickenbacker and lets rip. “From The Floorboards Up” is actually a tightly wrapped swagger of closely cropped beats and snappy guitars, all neatly imprinted with Wellers backbiting (for a 40+ popstar) vocals. The acoustic exploits of “Oranges And Rosewater” are actually quite nice and show that Paul Weller can still mix hard boiled fuzztones with more delicate tomes. The whole thing does drift off into an Arabian desert theme for a while but in truth this single is his best for a while and deserves a chart placing.

PAUL WELLER – FROM THE FLOORBOARDS UP: Paul Weller returns with a track he describes himself as ‘two minutes and 25 seconds of rock ‘n’ roll’. From The Floorboards Up begins with a choppy opening riff and dancefloor tempo before launching into a hard-driving Weller classic – the sort that draws comparisons with the recent style of Graham Coxon and which is sure to go down a storm with fans. Better still, however, is the more tender bonus track, Oranges and Rosewater, which shows the range of the artist, especially in terms of his guitar work. It contains a really enchanting melody and kicks in with a really nice Eastern rhythm about the halfway point. It’s a good mix of contrasts from Weller that demonstrates the artist has lost none of his passion for stretching himself musically.

The first single to be taken from the forthcoming album ‘As Is Now’ -released October- sees Weller step back into a rockier frame of mind. Hard edged guitars and vocals abound in ‘From The Floorboards Up’ as The Modfather returns to original material having spent time dabbling with his favourite cover versions.
At barely over two minutes the ‘A’ side makes it’s own statement, while the far more relaxed Oranges And Rosewater earmarks the characteristic smokiness of Weller’s gentler vocal line.
With a career spanning well over a generation and still only half way travelled ‘From The Floorboards Up’ charts another significant landmark as Weller continues to journey down his ‘Stanley Road’. (4/5)

Paul Weller
St George’s Hall, Bradford
Dave Simpson
Saturday July 16, 2005„This is dedicated to all our brothers and sisters who lost their lives in London last week,“ begins Paul Weller. „But in a strange sort of way I’d also like to dedicate it to the fucking cowards that were responsible.“ The modfather then takes up his guitar and unleashes a song as wounded, emotional and angry as anything in his canon. It’s called Savages.
Already recorded (it appears on his forthcoming album) Savages wasn’t written in response to the London bombings but sounds like it could have been. This is Weller’s art in a nutshell. He’s spent his career writing songs that are as relevant now as when they were recorded. Continuing relevancy has enabled him to survive peers, career shifts from the Jam to Style Council to solo artist and, not least, some ever-changing haircuts.Weller looks very pleased with his latest barnet – a spiky modish mullet – but his lean, hard physical fitness and unusual bonhomie probably owes more to a rediscovered muse. It certainly seems significant that he avoids too many cushions of his greatest hits and leans on new material, much of it with a brass section. However, the spiky, angular From the Floorboards Up is a gentle reminder that Weller was checking out Gang of Four long before Franz Ferdinand. While his music ebbs and flows, his regular musicians instinctively follow his moods – even if that requires a 20-minute excursion into sublime psychedelic soul. Selections from his catalogue – especially Wild Wood’s Can You Hear Us Holy Man? – seem absurdly poignant; A Town Called Malice has never sounded as furious. But amid deafening cries for „Well-ah!“ the man hauls his band stagefront to applaud the audience. It suggests this barnstorming performance is one man’s step towards pulling everybody back together. (5/5)

In other news, Paul Weller is readying a new album for a September release. The video for the first single, „From the Floorboards Up,“ is available for viewing on his site, and I’ve been listening to it like crazy this evening. I’ll probably be well burned out on it by the time it actually hits my local shop. Weller sounds completely reinvigorated, though, and what’s more, this song doesn’t sound much like anything he’s done before. (Although I suppose an argument could be made that this is his most overtly Jam-like material since parting ways with Bruce and Rick back in the ’80s…) Looking forward to the album…

Artist: Paul Weller
Track: From The Floorboards Up
Label: Solid Bond Productions
We think: ****
Release date: 18th July 2005
Notes: He’s done it again. It must be a good feeling when ur a big star like Weller, and you still have the ability to create a relevant song such as this. This will go alongside all his other classics. The tune is good and its a fine tempo to play.

**************************************
The wait is over. Three years on from ‚Illumination‘ and a year since
his highly acclaimed covers album ‚Studio 150‘, you have in your
hands fourteen new songs from Paul Weller, entitled simply ‚As Is
Now‘. The good news doesn’t end there. Fired up by both his break
from writing and the resurgence in British guitar bands -many of whom
were inspired to pick up a guitar in the first place by Paul- ‚As Is
Now‘ is quite simply a milestone record; a dazzling return to the
form which made ‚Wildwood‘ and ‚Stanley Road‘ central texts to
Britpop a decade ago.
„I felt that I needed a break from writing songs, but I didn’t want
to do a covers record until I felt the time was right “ he explains.
„But doing ‚150‘ gave me the space to not worry about it for a while.
And then suddenly a whole load of songs came along at once…“Work on ‚As Is Now‘ started, as customary, with Paul working on demos
at his own personal studio Black Barn. However, following his
rapturously received Spring tour-which culminated in an emotional
string of gigs at the Hammersmith Apollo- Paul decided to bring the
band into the studio immediately to capture both their intensity and
explosive energy on tape.
„It was the best thing to do because we were still buzzing off the
tour and we knew the basic outlines of the songs already because we’d
been messing around with them at sound-checks. I really wanted to get
that feeling of energy and excitement of cutting it live onto the
record…“Re-united with the production team responsible for the stripped back
sound of ‚Studio 150‘- Jan ‚Stan‘ Kybert and engineer Joeri Saal
Wisseloord ….–the results are startling. Working straight eight hour
days over a labour intensive fortnight at Oasis‘ Wheeler End Studio,
the band (as ever: Steve Cradock; guitar, Steve White; drums; Damon
Minchella; bass) conjured up a rare alchemy, alternating between a
kinetic fury unseen since Paul’s days with The Jam (epic first single
‚From The Floorboards Up‘) bucolic astro-folk (‚On A Misty Morning‘)
and heartbreaking late-night piano excursions (‚The Pebble And The
Boy‘) which nod to the Style Council’s deeply under-rated ‚Confessions
Of A Pop Group‘.But that’s not all. You can dive into the pure punk power-pop of
‚Come On / Let’s Go‘; slow-dance to the majestic ballad ‚I Wanna Make
It Alright‘ or wallow in the guitar crescendo’s of Hendrix-esque
opener ‚Blink And You’ll Miss It‘, which itself splinters into the
powerhouse stomp of ‚Paper Smile‘, arguably the most ’scouse-rock‘
tune ever created outside Merseyside. ‚Bring Back the Funk (pts 1 &
2)‘ , meanwhile, sees the band all turn in career-best performances,
led by a songwriter who happily admits to being inspired by
everything from Debussy to Coltrane to Parliament to, yes, the Small
Faces.
„People think I listen to the Small Faces all day every day“ he smiles.
„But they’re wrong. That’s only between ten and midday…“The result, for the first time, is a record which reflects all the
facets of Paul’s career whilst still sounding completely instinctive,
and, crucially, bang up to date.
„I didn’t really think about what the songs were sounding like, it’s
just the way they came out. There’s a lot of love in this record.
‚Floorboards‘ stemmed from something me and Steve (White) talk about;
that when you play live on a good night the music doesn’t come from
the band, but from the energy of the crowd. It’s that power you’re
always looking to tap into to…“Pushing the limits has always been the musical credo for Paul Weller.
From his time with The Jam- still, for many the most inspirational
group of the last thirty years -through the pop genius of The Style
Council, to his ever-evolving solo career he has always remained true
to the modernist ideal of keeping one step ahead of the throng.
Now, with an entire new generation of bands inspired by his music,
mindset and-let’s face it-wardrobe, trust Paul to come up with what
the man himself considers to be his best work to date.
And that title?
„I was in Rome with my girlfriend and I went to see an exhibition of
sixties British artists. A print by Eduardo Paolozzi caught my eye
called ‚As Is When‘ (1965). I just liked the simplicity of it. I just
tweaked the title a bit. For me it’s an acknowledgement of living in
the moment, and enjoying what’s there in front of you…“Which brings us back to where we came in. Fourteen brand new songs
from the greatest British songwriter of his generation. Crank it up
loud. Mr Weller we’ll see you in the speakers.--
