Sweet Heart Sweet Light

Spiritualized

A maximalist blend of gospel soul and orchestral space rock. Bright, shimmering, and surprisingly poppy despite its heavy themes of sickness and recovery.

April 16, 2012 · Fat Possum Records

Find on Amazon

A hard-won sense of spiritual euphoria emerging from physical illness.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden shift from a driving motorik beat into a massive, brass-led soul explosion halfway through Hey Jane.
The way the 11-year-old Poppy Spaceman's voice provides a fragile, innocent counterpoint to the heavy orchestration on So Long You Pretty Thing.
The swirling, chaotic saxophone freak-out that threatens to derail the groove on Headin' for the Top Now before the beat locks back in.
