Stone Roses are the resurrection. Columbia Records

Today we received a laconic PR email from Columbia Records (?!); the entire text: "The Stone Roses will release a new single today at 3pm ET/12pm PT." This will be the first new release by the popular Manchester, England rock group since 1995's "Begging You" 12-inch. Stone Roses caused a sensation in the last half of the '80s with early singles like "Sally Cinnamon" and their near-universally praised 1989 self-titled debut album, a halcyonic suite of psychedelic pop songs that burst with earned, youthful hubris and indelible melodies. (Light in the Attic's Modern Classics subsidiary reissued it on vinyl in 2015.) Stone Roses' 1994 follow-up, Second Coming, generally was regarded as a letdown, but it has its champions. It's a solid collection of darker-hued, occasionally inspired dance rock, but, yeah, it doesn't match the firepower of the first LP. We'll update this post if there's music to share. Meanwhile, check out a live version of the Roses' club classic "Fools Gold" from their 2013 Coachella set after the jump. UPDATE: You can download "All for One" here. The single was recorded in London's Church Studios with producer Paul Epworth, who's also recently worked with the Pop Group and Thurston Moore. UPDATE 2: View the video of "All for One" after the jump. After two listens, I can say that it's pretty solid anthemic rock, but it's no "I Am the Resurrection," innit?
