Formed in 1990 by singer, songwriter, and guitarist Jason Pierce, the British band Spiritualized quickly gained a reputation for their unique sound, blending gospel, blues, and psychedelic rock elements.

By 2001, when I was fortunate enough to meet up with my namesake in Cape Town, the band had already released four critically acclaimed albums, including their breakthrough album Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space.

In our time together, Jason spoke about the journey up to the point of Let It Come Down and being suspended from a helicopter while flying over the West Coast dressed up in a space suit 😉

With a dedicated following and a reputation as one of their generation's most innovative and daring bands, Spiritualized continues to push musical boundaries and captivate audiences with their electrifying live performances.

Enjoy!
