Guitarist and songwriter Dean DeLeo of Stone Temple Pilots has once again teamed up with acclaimed U.K. vocalist, Pete Shoulder to release their second collaboration album, One More Satellite.
With Shoulder residing in the UK and DeLeo in the US, the approach to this record was very much the same as the previous record. Dean sending song ideas to Pete and if he was digging it, Shoulder would add melodies and lyrics and proceed with tracking the song. The album was co-produced by close friend and long-time collaborator, Ryan Williams.
Throughout the album’s ten tracks, DeLeo’s layered guitar work pairs seamlessly with Shoulder’s vocals creating a dynamic musical landscape.
The biggest difference on this album from the last, is bandmate and brother of Dean, bassist Robert DeLeo plays on five of the ten tracks. “His work on ‘Stare Down the Sun’ is really something incredible,” says Dean. “I love my brother and thrilled that he is on this record.”
Robert DeLeo also plays on debut track “Cry.” Dean says, “Years ago… Robert and I played in Joe Walsh’s band for a tour. I’ve always loved Joe’s playing and his songwriting. I learned a lot in those weeks with Joe. I bring this up because the lick in ‘Cry’ is very reminiscent of Joe, so thank you Mr. Walsh for the incredible music you have given to us. My brother Robert plays on this track along with Brian Tichy on drums. Pete of course as he always does put forth a very satisfying melody and lyrics over this one.”
