'Spiritualized', Akvárium Club Budapest, 7 April
Formed by Jason Pierce and other members who split off from Spacemen 3, a pioneer of eighties British noise rock, Spiritualized has been a leading act of new psychedelic rock for over thirty years – and now they are giving a concert in Hungary at last.

 Spiritualized condenses almost the entire history of pop music: from gospely choirs, through the turmoil of blues and psychedelic rock, the raw energy of garage rock, free jazz escapades, soulful melodies, classic minimalism, space rock, ethereal shoe-gazing arrangements and ambient crossovers to symphonic art rock.

It is for a good reason that their best-known album, Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space, has entered the pop music canon as one of the best albums of the 1990s, and in the year of its release outstripped even Radiohead’s OK Computer in the end-of-year charts of the UK.

Spiritualized has influenced a host of bands from Tame Impala through MGMT to King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, but more importantly, their nine albums, which have been of a consistently high quality, have always channelled the chaos of the world with goosefleshy originality, leading the listener to a sense of angelic beauty and infinity.

This concert of the Bartók Spring is presented by Müpa Budapest as a joint event with Akvárium Klub.
