BBC6's Matt Everitt recently met up with Spiritualized's Jason Pierce at a warehouse full of old hospital equipment to chat about his first single in four years, "Soul On Fire." - Source

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.) - Source

Spiritualized's frontman Jason Pierce has revealed that he's turned down an offer to reform Spacemen 3. - Source

Looks like Jason Pierce aka J. Spaceman aka Jason Spaceman won't limit the pleasure of enjoying the new Spiritualized album to UK residents only. Us U.S. folk will get our taste of Songs in Aamp;amp;E on June 3 via Fontana International/Spaceman Records. (Yes, it's Songs in Aamp;amp;E, not Song's in Aamp;amp;E, as previously reported. That erroneous apostrophe came courtesy of a post on the Spiritualized MySpace page. -- Ed) - Source
