Spiritualized are back with their new 18-track opus Songs In A&E. Released on Monday 19th May via Jason Pierce's own Spaceman Records imprint, it will be preceded by a single, 'Soul On Fire' a week earlier.

The album is said to have been influenced by a serious illness which Pierce incurred back in 2005 during the initial stages of writing the album, its sound said to be "a different emotional direction to previous Spiritualized releases."

The full tracklisting is as follows:-

'Harmony 1'
'Sweet Talk'
'Death Take Your Fiddle'
'I Gotta Fire'
'Soul on Fire'
'Harmony 2'
'Sitting on Fire'
'Yeah Yeah'
'You Lie You Cheat'
'Harmony 3'
'Baby I'm Just a Fool'
'Don't Hold Me Close'
'Harmony 4'
'The Waves Crash In'
'Harmony 5'
'Borrowed Your Gun'
'Harmony 6'
'Goodnight Goodnight'

Spiritualized have also confirmed their appearance - the first band to do so - at this year's Dot-To-Dot Festival in May. They will be appearing in Bristol on Saturday 24th May and Nottingham on Sunday 25th. Other confirmed May dates to coincide with Songs In A&E are...

May
18 Cambridge Junction
19 Sheffield Plug
20 London Koko
29 Belfast Mandela Hall

"Which works out at, what, three and a half songs a year? "

considering he had a brain embolism or something a few years back, it's not so bad...

Anyway - hurrah for Jason! hes lovely.

I have high hopes for this

the new material played on the acoustic mainlines tours was brilliant; especially soul on fire, sitting on fire and death, take your fiddle.

just need a scottish date now....

That would be good at dot to dot

hope they're on reasonable late (and somewhere fairly big).

Death Take Your Fiddle

That's an intriguing title.

And seeing as how I've seen SPZ 5 times, in 5 different cities I should be able to extend this run if I go and see them in Sheffield!

they're not

on a Major anymore then?

nah. they got dropped from bmg several years ago

the last album came out on sanctuary, now sanctuary have gone bust, it's little surprise mr pierce has set his own label up. he's normally very keen to keep as much money to himself as possible.
