Songs in A&E - press release
After much anticipation, and a longer than expected wait, Spiritualized are set to release their long-awaited 18 track sixth studio album, ‘SONGS IN A&E’, on Spaceman Records on May 26th. The US release will be announced this week.
The album will be preceded by the single, “Soul On Fire”, available on 7in vinyl and digital on May 19th.
Since the release of the last studio album, ‘Amazing Grace’, there followed a lengthy period of touring but this was unfortunately curtailed by a serious illness which struck main man Jason Pierce in 2005. Time spent in intensive care interrupted the writing and recording of the follow up record both prior to, and after his illness. Inevitably perhaps, this setback turned into an inspiration…
Following the completion of the A&E recording sessions there was a period of label uncertainty in 2007 so Spiritualized presented their acclaimed Acoustic Mainlines live show, during which they previewed ‘acoustic’ versions of new & old material, at many and various festivals and revered venues, including the legendary Apollo Theatre in Harlem, NY.
Acoustic Mainlines will play their last few shows at the i-Tunes festival on March 2nd at Air studios and a handful of US west coast shows including the Coachella Festival in April.
The band will be touring with the full line up and additional gospel singers in May followed by extensive touring around the world including shows at Benicassim in Spain, Summer Sonic in Japan and extensive tours & festivals in the UK, Europe and USA.
J Spaceman has also recorded the soundtrack to the film, ‘Mr. Lonely’, directed by Harmony Korine, which is released in the UK in March with a soundtrack on Drag City.

New Years message from Spaceman
Just a short message to say happy new year to all out there. It's been a good year for the Spaceman but it wouldn't've counted for nothin' without you guys. Thanks for all the support, records, chat and stuff. We've been sittin' on a finished (and mastered) record here for months now while Universal try to sort out their shit so with luck it should be resolved early this year and you can have it.
The shows were a real high, too many good times -Edinburgh, Traena, the Apollo, , too much and more, gonna miss this stuff. We maybe got Vancouver down to Palm Springs in a few months but that's it for acoustic mainlines, after that we're going electric ...
Also this year, Harmony Korine's truly beautiful "Mister Lonely" film is released to cinema with an o.s.t. to follow on Drag City Records. It was an honour and trip to work on that one and probably one of the things that was most instrumental in me finally finishing the Spiritualized album so we all got Harmony to thank for that one. Go see his film.
"Spaceshipp", a new duet recorded at Abbey Road with Mathew Shipp for the Treader label is also coming out sometime soon.
Anyways, you should check in here for updates and stuff
Best show of last year was probably Roky or Gruff or Lone Pigeon or maybe John Tchikai or something else i forgot.
Favourite records of the year, all on the same label from mississippi (Mississippi Records) are the compilations -
"I don't feel at home in this world anymore" 1927 - 1948,
"Lipa Kodi Ya City Council"
"Life is a problem"
Special Thanks to ; Mick Paterson, Rob Holden, Harmony and Rachel Korine, Tony Doggen Foster, Richard Knowles, Tim Lewis (thighpaulsandra), Kate, Gibby, Mark Lanegan, Ari the artist , Rupert, The Sian Alice Band, J.C., Sam Kirby, Ben Crook, James Alderman and Boswell, Brian Flores, Tom Edwards, Tim Holmes, Malcolm Carson, Bruno, Jeanette lee, Anthony, Matt Connor, Juliette, Yvonne and Travis

Plus, a set of 5 Amazing Grace Pin Badges featuring the heads from the album artwork treated in a Warhol style. They come on a printed cardboard mount.
Available from the Pharmacy very very shortly...

New Stock For The Pharmacy
New stock will be available from early next week! First off, a brand new t-shirt design, an illustrated version of the classic Spaceman® print. We've used American Apparel tees this time; slightly more expensive (especially in the UK), but far, far superior fit and colours in our opinion, ethically made and cruelty free. Features Spiritulized® armprint. Available in silver ink on white and silver on pale blue. Very limited numbers, so order early to avoid missing out.
We've also been digging in the archives and found some awesome deadstock; both items originally from the Ladies & Gentlemen... tour. Again, numbers are strictly limited. We've got a glow-in-the-dark on navy tee; the artwork is from the limited edition 12 CD boxset. Size large only. Plus we've some found L&G mugs! Large "Spiritualized®" logo with "Ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space B P" below it. Silver foil on navy mug.
Prices to follow...

As you're probably aware we've been attacked by the Turkish Hackers. Even though we totally sympathise with the sentiments of our hijackers, the forum appears to be well and truly scuppered!

Thanks
Just wanted to say thankyou to everyone who sent messages of love and support over the last couple of months. As you may know by now i'm out of hospital and just tryin' to breathe on my own and get stronger. The new album has been delayed but a solo recording for Treader, recorded a few days before my illness, should be available in Sept. Thanks also to everyone who sent books and records and a big thankyou to Juliette, John Coxon, Bobby g, Katy, Rachael, Ben and Matt and all the staff on the icu at the London Hospital who put me up for 10 days and all the staff on the cc unit for the rest of my stay, love spaceman

www.spiritualized.com
So, here it is after months of discussion and hard work... the new and improved Spiritualized website. Thanks again for your patience and suggestions. It's gonna grow into a content heavy site, so please log-in once in a while to see what's new. And please make sure you check in at Admissions to gain access to the members-only section.
There's still some pages to be added and tweaked, and we're planning to add new media monthly; after we've fully stocked the Pharmacy, we'll be taking a long overdue overhaul of the forum.
In the meantime, click back and enjoy...

Jason's illness
As rumoured on the forums both here and at NME.com, J.Spaceman was recently taken critically ill but has been allowed home after a prolonged stay in intensive care and critical care.
Jason contracted advanced periorbital cellulitis with bilateral pnuemonia with rapid deterioration requiring intensive care and c-pap for type 1 respiratory failure.
A truly massive "Thank You" to all the Medical Staff and Nurses at The Royal London Hospital A&E, Cambridge Ward, Intensive Care and Critical Care / Cotton Ward whom all worked so amazingly hard on his treatment and recovery.
"Thank You" also to Intensive Care Dept at St Barts for his 2 day transfer there.
And thanks to all you for your good wishes and thoughts.
