SEE & HEAR: Spiritualized - "Hey Jane"


In case you didn't happen to hear the good news, Spiritualized will be releasing a new album April 16th entitled Sweet Heart Sweet Light. No, the image above isn't included for irony or just because it's nice to include a picture with my silly, little write-ups. What you see above is the official cover art for the aforementioned Spiritualized album. Jason Pierce (or J Spaceman, if you prefer) and co. have had this record in the oven for about two years, apparently -- not to mention the other year Pierce spent mixing the album. So, why wait any longer? Hear album track "Hey Jane" below. It's the first release from the new LP, and it's everything you could hope for: an epic, just under nine minute slab of Britpop/neo-psychedelia excellence. I can't say I'm an expert when it comes to Spiritualized, but I feel comfortable enough to say that Jason Pierce knows how to tastefully handle his ambition.



You can also check out the music video for "Hey Jane," which came out today. With an additional minute or so, it almost plays like a short film. A warning: this video is NSFW.


Sweet Heart Sweet Light is out April 16th via Double Six/Domino.
