Ulrika Spacek
Intricate, interlocking guitar patterns and hypnotic rhythms that feel like a late-night walk through a neon-lit city. Psychedelic rock with a sharp, artful edge.

Ulrika Spacek emerged from the ashes of the Reading-based band Tripwires, with core members Rhys Edwards and Joseph Stone seeking a more experimental and art-focused direction. Formed in 2014, the band's identity was forged in 'KEN,' a shared house and studio space in Homerton, East London.
Their sound is a sophisticated blend of 90s indie rock (think Deerhunter or Sonic Youth) and 70s Krautrock (Can, Neu!) , characterized by intricate, interlocking guitar parts and a steady, driving rhythm section. Critically, they are often praised for their 'Oysterland' events, which combined music with visual art, reflecting their holistic approach to creativity. Their career arc shows a steady evolution from the more straightforward psychedelic rock of 'The Album Paranoia' to the complex, multi-layered arrangements of 'Compact Trauma.' They occupy a unique space in the UK alternative scene, bridging the gap between traditional guitar rock and more avant-garde, experimental textures.
