Stone Temple Pilots guitarist Dean DeLeo and U.K. vocalist Pete Shoulder unveiled One More Satellite, their second album as a duo, on Nov. 11. It arrives Jan. 29, 2027, through Megaforce Records, according to AntiMusic. The first single, “Cry,” is out now.
An ocean sits between the two men. DeLeo lives in the U.S., while Shoulder lives in the U.K. So DeLeo sent over rough song ideas, and whenever Shoulder liked one, he wrote melodies and lyrics and recorded the track himself. Ryan Williams co-produced the album.
The record has 10 tracks, and the pair wrote every one. One big change stands out from the first album. Robert DeLeo, Dean’s brother and fellow Stone Temple Pilots member, plays bass on five of the 10 songs. He appears on “Cry,” which also features drummer Brian Tichy.
“His work on ‘Stare Down the Sun’ is really something incredible,” Dean DeLeo said, per The Music Universe. “I love my brother and am thrilled that he is on this record.”
Dean DeLeo also talked about the lick in “Cry.” “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,” he said, per The Music Universe.
The duo’s first album shares the title One More Satellite and came out in 2025. That November, the band played its first shows, three gigs in California. Julia Lage handled bass and Brian Tichy took the drums.
The two had teamed up long before the band took shape, per Cleveland.com. They wrote songs for Lessons Learned, an album by Robert DeLeo, Dean’s brother and fellow Stone Temple Pilots member. They also worked in the studio on a project with Stone Temple Pilots and Trip the Witch.
Stone Temple Pilots still counts three original members: Dean DeLeo, Robert DeLeo, and drummer Eric Kretz. Jeff Gutt took over as singer in 2017.
The track list for One More Satellite includes “Cry,” “Stare Down the Sun,” “Better Days,” “Serenity,” and “Turn Back the Page” on Side A, followed by “Déjà Vu,” “Celebration,” “Blow,” “Your Side of the Sky,” and “One Winter” on Side B, per The Music Universe.
