Ulrika Spacek

Ulrika Spacek is an experimental rock band that has carved a niche in the indie music scene with their distinctive blend of noise rock and psychedelic influences. Formed in Berlin by British expatriates Rhys Edwards and Rhys Williams, the band officially came together upon their return to London in 2014. With a name that playfully combines the Swedish singer Ulrika Jonsson and the German-born American abstract expressionist painter Yves Klein's concept of 'Spatialism', Ulrika Spacek's music similarly juxtaposes familiar elements in unusual and thought-provoking ways.

Since their inception, Ulrika Spacek has been prolific in their output, maintaining a steady release of projects that showcase their evolving sound. The band's debut album, "The Album Paranoia," released in 2016, immediately established them as a creative force, lauded for its innovative approach and atmospheric soundscapes. They followed up with 2017's "Modern English Decoration," further refining their sound and earning accolades for its introspective lyricism and cohesive aesthetic. Singles like "Full of Men" and "Mimi Pretend," along with EPs like "Suggestive Listening" have only bolstered their reputation as a band unafraid to push boundaries while maintaining an engaging, melodic core. The contemplative resonance of tracks like "The Sheer Drop" and the expansive "The Tier Drop" speak to their continuous artistic growth and the immersive listening experiences they create for their audiences. With a dedicated following and a sound that defies easy categorization, Ulrika Spacek continues to be a compelling presence in the world of alternative music.
