Soul Brother Number Two

I just heard the new Spiritualized single, "Soul on Fire," and it just blew me away. Although it has been a part of the setlist for the duration of this last tour, oh, yay, to finally hear a studio version in all its lush grandeur. Oddly enough, in spite of the prominent orchestral presence (and the fact that the version I got was a radio rip), it's got more of a sing-along feel than any of the stripped-down live versions I've heard. Kinda like "Hey Jude."

A new album, Songs in A&E, is expected around late May, and it will be the first since 2003's Amazing Grace. Bold prediction: this will be the first album I purchase this year.

Spiritualized - Soul on Fire

Two more months to think about a new album cover, fellas.
