SPIRITUALIZED - SWEET HEART SWEET LIGHT RELEASED MARCH 2012

Spiritualized | 15/05/12

Recorded over the past two years in Wales, LA and Reykjavik, and mixed for a year in the confines of his own home, “Sweet Heart Sweet Light” will unbelievably be Spiritualized’s seventh studio album and it promises to be one of the most eagerly anticipated releases of 2012. An inspiration and revelation to many well-known musicians, most recently the likes of Alex Turner, Elbow and Florence The Machine; Spiritualized continue to engage and impress musicians and fans alike. Taking musical risks is a hallmark of Spiritualized’s outlook. Witness them playing the new album unannounced, from start to finish, live at the Royal Albert Hall recently – something unheard of in today’s clamour for instant hit gratification. As J.Spacemen says ‘I don’t believe there are any rules’ and this album will testify to that.

The band recently announced a six-date UK tour in support of the new album in November 2012. They'll also perform at the Wilderness Festival, Cornbury Park, August 10-12 and Bestival, Newport, Isle of Wight 6-9 September. They'll be hitting the road in the US this May.
