Spiritualized is an English space rock band formed in 1990 in Rugby, Warwickshire by Jason Pierce (often referred to as J Spaceman) after the dissolution of his previous band, Spacemen 3. As the principal member and the creative force behind Spiritualized, Pierce has led the group through a dynamic evolution of sound, embodying a blend of psychedelia, rock, gospel, and experimental music. The ensemble often incorporates lush orchestrations and choral arrangements, creating sonically rich, enveloping textures that have become a hallmark of their sound.

The band's discography is punctuated by critically acclaimed albums such as "Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space" (1997), which is often cited as their magnum opus. Throughout the years, Spiritualized has continued to produce a consistent output of records that marry existential lyricism with transformative sonic experiences. Their recent releases, including "And Nothing Hurt" (2018) and "Everything Was Beautiful" (2022), exemplify their masterful fusion of introspective songwriting and expansive, multi-layered soundscapes. Notable tracks like "Soul On Fire," "A Perfect Miracle," and "Always Together With You" continue to define and refine their position in the pantheon of space rock and beyond, as they carry on their journey through the cosmic and the intimate realms of music.
