Stone Temple Pilots guitarist Dean DeLeo has unveiled a new project dubbed One More Satellite. The outfit’s self-titled debut album is set to drop July 18th, and the lead single and LP opener “Paper Over the Cracks” can be heard now.
The project sees DeLeo in collaboration with English singer and lyricist Pete Shoulder, and the duo’s chemistry is palpable on the new song. DeLeo lays down a lanky, very STP-sounding central riff that’s deceptively hooky, while Shoulder is in fine form, his grizzled voice and melodies perfectly complementing the track’s overall tone.
“I was simply sitting on some songs I wanted to record,” DeLeo said of the project in a press release. “What started out as an instrumental album, quickly changed soon after Pete and I chatted. He was going to sing on a song or two, then wound up singing on eight of the 10 on the record.”

Added Shoulder, “I was excited to hear the new music Dean wanted to collaborate on. We’ve worked together in the past and it’s always been an absolute pleasure making music with him. The stuff he comes up with is so interesting, with so many beautiful, unexpected, twists and turns. It’s very inspiring to write to and pushes me into realms that I would never usually think of exploring. I’m very proud of the album we’ve made.”
The rest of the 10-song debut album features appearances from DeLeo’s son Rocco on drums (“Drowning Out the Sun,” “Willow Mae,” and “Spit It Out”) and his daughter June on backing vocals (“Your Call”). The LP also sees a spot performance from Stone Temple Pilots drummer Eric Kretz on “Serenade,” with Brian Tichy (Billy Idol, Whitesnake) drumming on the remaining tracks. Ryan Williams co-produced and mixed the album.
