The british music press has an uncanny ability to hype up and laud the shittest bands while some of the greats of our times just plod along regardless, never really getting their due. Spiritualized are one of these bands. Jason Spaceman nearly died of pneumonia in 2005, which made seeing him finally do a Spiritualized show after such a long time last night even better. If you ever get the chance to see them live, you will not regret it. Their new album Songs in A & E is out Monday.
