News Songs In A&E - Today!

Posted by Andrew R Tonry on Tue, May 27 at 4:23 PM

Well Hot Damn! Guess what came out today? That’s right, Spiritualized’s Songs In A&E, their first new album in five years. After some delays I wasn’t sure if the thing would really make it out. I checked online and a simple search didn’t bring anything up, so I called Everyday Music and yes, indeed it’s in. “We’re listening to it right now, actually,” the clerk told me. This is a good sign. Gonna have to go get me one.

In the meantime, check out the video from this morning’s live performance on KCRW. Good stuff… acoustic with backing string section… and my God, the pain on Pierce’s face… But hey, these things are cathartic, no? Lord, let it rain on me. Let it all come down.
