The ever-chameleonic J. Spaceman baffled substantially when
Spiritualized emitted an irradiate blitz of new material at the Royal Albert Hall late last year. Hey Jane was a standout then and it irrevocably stands above anything else you're likely to hear today: a swirling gospel spiral of magnetic intrigue, you can almost sense the sloshing of baptismal waters beyond its lavish choral backdrop and prominent whooshes of gently scuffed guitar. Infinitely more convincing than the above artwork for forthcoming LP Sweet Heart Sweet Light (released April 16th via
Double Six), it's a celebratory resurrection of the divine rock locked within Let It Come Down.
Pierce et al. play London's Hackney Empire next month.
Spiritualized.
