Definition of In Another Room

In Another Room is an EP by English musician Paul Weller, released in January 2020 by electronic label Ghost Box. The label approached Weller to record a release for them, the musician having already taken influence from the label's music on previous releases. Recorded with longtime engineer Charles Rees, the project allowed Weller to create more outré music and explore his passions for tape music and electronics.

The EP contains four instrumentals and is a work of musique concrète, sound collage and experimental music, based on field recordings that Weller captured during his travels and everyday life. Tape manipulation was employed to give the project an analogue feel and change the speed of recordings. The record has also been considered a work of hauntology, a genre pioneered by Ghost Box.

In Another Room was a limited edition of 1,000 vinyl copies, although it was also available as a download. Critics contextualised the record as continuing Weller's more adventurous 2010s work. The musician later reused elements of the EP on his subsequent album On Sunset (2020).
