This has been a pretty great morning for long, sprawling, multi-part songs! First, there was the excellent 13-minute version of the Gorillaz/James Murphy/Andre 3000 track “DoYaThing.” Now, there’s this.
British drug-rock eminences Spiritualized are on their way back with the new album Sweet Heart Sweet Light, their first full-length since Songs In A&E four years ago. The image above is its slightly confounding album cover. And below, you’ll find a stream of the stretched-out nine-minute album track “Hey Jane,” which sounds like classic Spiritualized in all the best ways possible.

Sweet Heart Sweet Light is out 4/17 on Fat Possum.

This sounds like Spiritualized by-the-numbers but it’s so bouncy that I can’t help but get caught up in it. I agree with Captain Queso that after the five minute mark it gets a bit much but I still like it. The ending would be great if it was two minutes earlier.
So I guess I was the only one that smiled so big 3 minutes in and then screamed in joy and didn’t stop smiling until the song perfectly ended?
Also: I hope that album cover is a Kanye reference.
I don’t know what it means, but it’s provocative ….
I thought it was good 3 minutes in, but had a raging boner by the end.
Def top 3 most anticipated albums for me this year.
Good song, album cover worthy of Lonely Island
Good Song. I will be checking out the album.
If the length and title aren’t a reference to Hey Jude, I’ll be damned.
