Spiritualized

TheWarmth

I live on the northwest side of Chicago. Last year, a badass record store called "Tone Deaf Records" miraculously opened in my mostly sleepy neighborhood. I instantly became buddies with the owner, Tony. My band played a gig there. It's my favorite record store in the city. They always have excellen...

"Murder Most Foul" is the best thing he's done in ages! Definitely needs a 12" release.

TheWarmth

I know that every instrument is listed in the liner notes of Pulp's His N Hers, which is cool because they used a shit ton of gear on that album. I really enjoy those details, as a gear nerd myself.

Well, my UK/Denmark vacation took a weird turn, that's for sure. I was able to finally meet my friend, Chris, who used to post here as "u_nderscore," in person for the first time, which was cool. Things got really weird on March 11th. My girlfriend and I had tickets to see Big Thief and when we got ...

TheWarmth

I haven't had time to listen. Does it seem like it's new Sonic material and not some other act he's producing?

TheWarmth

Supergrass : Alexandra Palace
Big Thief : Copenhagen

My girlfriend and I are organizing a trip to the UK and Europe. We're flying into London on March 7th and will only be in the UK for a few days. We were supposed to fly to Italy and spend the majority of our time there, but canceled that portion due to the coronavirus. So, we're now headed to Copenh...

The Glok album is great. I bought it on cassette, even though I don't have a player, just because I wanted to support Andy and have a physical copy. The a month later they announce vinyl! Grrrr. Anyway, awesome album. Recommended. The new Ride single, "Clouds of Saint Marie," is excellent, too. Look...

TheWarmth

Loving the new Ride song, "Future Love".

TheWarmth

Man, I would love it if Forged Prescriptions got a nice vinyl pressing.

TheWarmth

“I’d be brought bread and milk, so I could eat,” he recalls.

This is hard to believe. Maybe hew as joking.

Here my list so far for 2019:

Sharon Van Etten: Remind Me Tomorrow (January 18)
Swervedriver: Future Ruins (January 25)
Yak: Pursuit of Momentary Happiness (February

Mercury Rev: Bobbie Gentry’s Delta Sweete Revisited (February

Lambchop: This (is what I wanted to tell you) (March 22)

TheWarmth

Listening to their first album now and I'm really impressed. Definitely going to check out the new one when it comes out next year.

2019 US Live Dates just announced via Instagram

The Delta Sweete is a fantastic album. I actually just recently tracked down a vinyl copy. I listened to the preview track and it's great. Looking forward to this.

TheWarmth

The fact that the band immediately split following this news is pretty damning. It makes me think that the other band members are not on dude's side.

TheWarmth

I find him absolutely unbearable these days, but I do think Alone With Everybody (and it's excellent b-sides) was a good solo effort. I remember getting a copy of the second one, Human Conditions, and being disappointed. Haven't latched onto anything since then. I still love The Verve, though.

TheWarmth

Three great gigs over the past week and a half: CAVE : Hideout : Chicago - Good god. Blew the fucking roof off the place. First date of the tour and they sound like they've been on the road for a year. Unbelieveable. New album just came out, too. Gruff Rhys : Chop Shop : Chicago - Amazing. I'm a sup...

TheWarmth

Their albums aren't on streaming services, although I'm sure they will be when the reissues come out. In the meantime, I can hook anyone up with the self-titled album. Just drop me a PM.

TheWarmth

I wonder how many of you here know The Glands, from Athens, GA. Anyone who enjoys Big Star and stuff like that should check these guys out. The melodies are wonderful and the playing is understated and tasteful. They released two albums (96 and 2000), both of which are great. At first their sound co...

TheWarmth

I like this a lot. Thanks for the tip.

TheWarmth

Look on Amazon.co.uk to see if they're going to carry it. I've ordered LPs from them before and the overseas shipping is cheap.

TheWarmth

My orange Fat Possum pressing is fine, too. I ordered the silver Bella Union version and am waiting for it to arrive.

TheWarmth

One of the reasons I love the new album so much is that there really is nothing on it that I want to skip or that I personally find cringe-inducing. It's just so fully realized and, I hate to say it, but ... mature. Ladies & Gentlemen is the last Spiritualized album where I felt this way, so from th...

TheWarmth

The Maida Vale version of "Rated X" that appears on the b-side of the Cheapster single is incredible.

TheWarmth

The silver Bella Union vinyl is back in stock on the BU website:

Also, it would be pretty odd for Jason to have his daughter track vocals and then remove them for the official release.

TheWarmth

Olan: it's an MP3 download. I put it on my phone last night and it's a far superior listen to the NPR stream.

This album is pretty crazy. I sorta doubt it's something that will stick with me, but it's an interesting experiment.

TheWarmth

This album is a masterpiece. The majority of these songs are utterly flawless. I find the lyrics to "Damaged" a bit weak and Pierce has written stronger closing tracks than "Sail On Through" (see "So Long You Pretty Thing"), but other than that, man ... this record is incredible. I think it's his be...

Do vinyl copies of the new album come with a download code?

Yes!

This is well thought out and well written. Recommended reading.

TheWarmth

Is Fat Possum sending out shipping notification emails? I haven't seen one yet.

TheWarmth

Oh man, "The Prize" is so good. Definitely my favorite so far.

TheWarmth

Sounds like the lyric, "Take a line, it'll be alright and we'll get stoned all through the night" has been changed to, "Take a ride, it'll be alright and we'll lay back all through the night."

TheWarmth

If they wanted an album reminiscent of the Velvet's self-titled, they sure didn't commit to that concept. It seems to me that what they really set out to do was their version of Sticky Fingers.

TheWarmth

I love "Jailbird" and "Rocks." I know they're derivative, but I think they sound fantastic and they're just extremely enjoyable songs. For the most part, I could live without the rest of the album, but I'm still very curious to hear this.

TheWarmth

This looks pretty interesting. I am a fan of some of these songs, but GOBDGU is a huge mess of an album. Maybe this will be a more satisfying listen.

TheWarmth

Oh wow ... he confirmed in the Q article that the strings are all made up of samples? That fucking crazy. I feel like recently he said that he did record a lot in the studio whenever he needed to put something down that he couldn't record at home, so I figured he did "real" string sessions. Also, I ...

TheWarmth

The tremolo sound is repeat percussion and has been used on numerous S3 and Spiritualized tracks. Definitely a classic Spaceman sound. I think that circuit is built into the Vox Starstreamer guitar that they used to use in S3. Not sure what Pierce uses these days, but there are a number of pedal bui...

TheWarmth

"Here It Comes (The Road) Let's Go" is available to stream now.

TheWarmth

I thought for sure that more US dates for October would have been announced by now. Strange. Maybe he's not planning a full world tour until 2019?

I guarantee when Spiritualized plays Chicago this year, ticket prices won't be $100+. Most of the shows I go to are between $20 and $40. Tickets I've purchased recently: Cave/Oneida: $18 Gruff Rhys: $18 Beak>: $25 My Bloody Valentine: $58 Radiohead: $120 (I stupidly committed to buying this ticket f...

TheWarmth

They have a new track out that's totally badass (great video, too):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSqIk4RHImA

TheWarmth

I'm not mocking. Just curious if he has moved away from the vocabulary that he has relied on so heavily in the past.

TheWarmth

Has anyone read through the lyrics to do the "Jesus" / "Lord" count? I wonder if he has moved past that.

TheWarmth

I actually think these two albums are about equal. They each only have a couple of songs I don't like and many high points. On A&E , I could easily live without "I Gotta Fire" and "Yeah Yeah." Both are complete throwaways. "Soul On Fire" is a particularly weak lead-off single, too. I don't know why ...

TheWarmth

It was performed at the Chicago show on July 12, 2013 that I was at. Here's the setlist from that one: Here It Comes (The Road, Let's Go) Hey Jane Electricity Let It Flow The Morning After I'm Your Man She Kissed Me (It Felt Like a Hit) Let's Dance "D" Song So Long You Pretty Thing A Song (New Repri...

TheWarmth

Am surprised the physical product is not coming out until September. The amount of momentum created by the recent activity seemed remarkably effective, with the trademarked understated Spaceman flourish ... all ending with a bit of an anti-climax. It would have been nice to at least have some UK to...

TheWarmth

These new songs are very deconstructed. Not sure if I like them, but props to Low for pushing hard in the direction of weirdness.

TheWarmth

I think we should cool out for now and stop complaining about the fact that neither of the two new songs are droney or spaced out. There are still an additional 7 songs on the album and don't forget that "Always Forgetting With You" (the last official Spiritualized song prior to this release) featur...

TheWarmth

I ordered the deluxe vinyl box from spiritualized.com and was charged $8 for shipping, so it seems to me that that is where U.S. customers should order. Fat Possum appears to be handling the U.S. orders.

TheWarmth

I agree, Throb. I really like the outro of "Hey Jane," too. Definitely the best part of the song.

TheWarmth

FWIW, I like these two songs better than the initial singles from the past few albums: "Soul On Fire," "Stop Your Crying" and "Hey Jane". I can't recall what the first official single from Amazing Grace was, but that being my least favorite Spiritualized record, I'll happily take these new songs ove...

Could be any one of a thousand songs by any one of a thousand bands. What a disappointment.

I get that you don't like the songs. That's fine. But the sentence above is just wrong. This is clearly Spiritualized. It couldn't be any other band.

TheWarmth

Oh shit ... "I'm Your Man" is awesome. I love the horns and the vibe is different than anything he's ever done before, yet still familiar and very Spiritualized. I love the guitar solo. Sunray mentioned that it sounds like Noel Gallagher. Don't think I agree with that assessment. "A Perfect Miracle"...

TheWarmth

Damn, these songs aren't yet available in the U.S. Can't wait to listen. Looks like the album clocks in at about 48 minutes. It doesn't bother me that there are only nine songs. The length is just about perfect for an album.

TheWarmth

I know it'll probably be up soon, but I'm still curious: can someone describe what it sounds like?

TheWarmth

So was it "Perfect Miracle" or "I'm Your Man" that aired today? Can we stream it? I don't see it on Spotify.

Also, the Gruff album is incredible. Easily my favorite album of the year so far. Definitely worth looking into.

TheWarmth

I listed to SHSL a few times recently and "So Long You Pretty Thing" is incredible. I found myself getting a bit emotional over it. Powerful track.

TheWarmth

That makes sense. Still, I think ANS is an amazing album. I like the final product very much. UH, on the other hand ... now that we have all the unreleased tracks, I think that could have been a much cooler album.

TheWarmth

I find it hard to believe that Richard remixed and remastered ANS by himself before it was released. Maybe he and Owen Morris made revisions together, but I just don't see Dickie sitting at the mixing desk and capably doing that work on his own.

TheWarmth

Oh man, the video clips are getting weird.

TheWarmth

I don't know what the fuck Ashcroft was thinking not allowing the unreleased material on the box. Those songs are fantastic. Plus, they would have sold many more copies of the UH box had they been included. Did he really think they wouldn't leak?
