New Spiritualized - "Soul On Fire"

J Spaceman Pierce's lazer guided melodies are pretty Flaming Lips-y on "Soul On Fire," a new tune from Spiritualized's forthcoming Songs In A&E, the first album since 2003's Amazing Grace. ("Soul On Fire" also keeps making us think of Sebadoh's "Soul And Fire," for what it's worth.) The track premiered yesterday on BBC 1's Zane Lowe show, which explains the effusive dialog toward the song's final movement (Zane kinda sounds like he has a movement, too, actually). Do you like your music to be far-reaching and epic? Yeah, us too. Step into the breeze and listen at Deaf Indie Elephants. (Thanks, YiYo.)

Songs In A&E is out 5/19 on Universal/Spaceman.

I love me some spiritualized, but this sounds an awful lot like that heap of crap song by the band called Train (i think?) that was on top 40 and easy listning stations non stop three or four years ago. what was that song called?

I hope the rest of the album is better than this, or at least maybe Mister Lonely will kick ass.

This really does sound like a soft-rock top 40 type of thing. I actually thought of that god awful Aerosmith song from Armageddon while I was listening to it. Probably not a good sign for the rest of the album. I was looking forward to this, too.
