As much as I want to, I will not be posting any cuts from the new Spiritualized LP, Sweet Heart Sweet Light, which came into my possession yesterday. It was lovingly packaged with posters, flyers and stickers, which I’m trying my best to apply to every available surface in my home. Alas, as the official release date is not until next week you’ll just have to wait to hear about it. To be perfectly honest, it’s not as good as I’d hoped, but there are still more good songs than bad songs on it. For an idea of what you’ll be hearing when it hits shelves on the 17th you should check out this YouTube channel. The band played Other Voices in Ireland back in April of last year (almost one year ago today, OOoOoOOoh!) and their set included four out of the 11 tracks on the new record. The broadcast was also apparently (I think?) hosted by Aidan Gillen, who you might know as Tommy Carcetti from The Wire or Lord Baelish from Game Of Thrones. He also interviewed Jason Pierce for the show. Very weird.
Here’s your Wednesday Mix Tape.
RULES for uninitiated noobs: I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is currently pushing on you. Sometimes there will be themes that link all the songs together, other times I’ll just throw songs at a wall (not literally) and see what sticks. This week features…no, wait. There is no theme! The goal of this endeavor, as always, is to pique your interest in these artists so you’ll support the artists and buy their albums.
