Even voorstellen – Ulrika Spacek – ‘Expo,Remixed’ album
EXPO, REMIXED album out now
LIVE Oct 19 — Brussels, BE — Botanique Witloof Bar
Ulrika Spacek expand the world of the critically acclaimed EXPO with the full album being reordered, reimagined and remixed by guest artists that the band endorse.
EXPO, REMIXED is out now on Full Time Hobby and features reworks from members of YHWH Nailgun, caroline and fantasy of a broken heart, as well as contributions from experimental stalwarts Able Noise and more eaze.
“After a few months of having EXPO out, it felt like a good time to share the individual layers with other artists to see what they could build with our blocks of sound”, the band says. “We really like how it turned out as it provides an alternative world of EXPO - each remix really reflects what we like about the artists we asked in the first place. In many ways we are quite an inward looking band, so collaborating in this way was a nice contrast to our usual way of working”.
For the album’s focus track, London's rising experimental hip-hop / post-rock trio wing! Take on the band's hit single 'Picto'. wing! shapeshift the math-rock and neo-psych of the original into a 90s club-ready, heady acid-house dance track, with driving sub bass and break beats taking centre stage. It's hypnotic, restless and euphoric, amplifying the band’s unique songwriting.
Though their well-established foundations are in the psych-rock world - and though they are inspired by electronic elements more than ever - Ulrika Spacek are interested in the glitch that exists between the two. Their music reckons with human warmth and digital isolation, equal parts welcoming and altogether alienating. “Our music has always been a collage – a bit patchwork, sonically,” explains singer/guitarist Rhys.
Whether it is Oysterland, the self-curated night the band began to platform artists of other disciplines in live music spaces; Total Refreshment Centre, the East London studio bassist/producers Syd Kemp runs which connects the dots between the jazz scene and like-minded experimental artists; or their creative bleed as musicians and producers over the years with the likes of Crack Cloud, caroline, DIIV, Holy Wave and the band’s existence is inseparable from its community.
