Spiritualized - Songs in A&E (Vinyl)
$80.00
Regular price $55.00Songs in A&E, the 2008 Spiritualized release, is another example of Jason Pierce 101, a return to business as usual. His lyrical attention remains steadfastly affixed to topics of love, loss, and alienation. Musically, however, he continues to merge and reevaluate the roles of his seminal influences -- which colored his Spacemen 3 and early Spiritualized releases -- with his more recently developed affections for gospel and American blues. These subtle variations are the true measures of the forward movement that he exercises with each album.
His tempering of existent themes with maturation and experience becomes the difference between the staggering, simple beauty of Pure Phase and the over-complicated, nearly self-indulgent beauty of Let It Come Down. This album is Pierce stripped bare, exposed and unobstructed by walls of unnecessary ornamentation, a construct of a man recently very ill who now finds expressive simplicities just as precious as complexities. Tiny Mix Tapes.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
