EXPO

Since emerging in the mid-2010s, Reading, England, quintet Ulrika Spacek have established themselves as a particularly slippery-sounding band in the indie rock landscape, setting their tunes awash in dissonant electronic textures and spacey atmospherics. Fittingly, their fourth album EXPO was recorded in London’s Total Refreshment Centre, which has become a hub in recent years for left-field sounds in the UK scene. Bassist Syd Kemp assumes production duties on this one, and his recent work with similarly expansive groups like Spiritualized and caroline is more than apparent in the whirring, fuzzy disorientation that Ulrika Spacek capture across these 11 songs.
