Ulrika Spacek

Ulrika Spacek is a British alternative rock band working between shoegaze and post-rock, performing in Washington, D.C. at Songbyrd, a venue that mainly hosts pop, rock and indie concerts.

Ulrika Spacek formed in 2014 and blends shoegaze and post-rock within its alternative rock sound. The band released its first album, The Album Paranoia, on Tough Love Records in 2016. Its fourth album, EXPO, has drawn favorable reviews from several British music publications, including MOJO, Record Collector and The Line of Best Fit.

The newest release is the EP field to the left, issued through Full Time Hobby, with the lead single "ulrika_adjacent_132.exe." The members describe samplers as the tool linking their electronic and rock band sides, and they plan to add the single to the live set. Work on the EP began while the band was touring in support of EXPO, and it took visual cues from the UK's gray concrete and deep green landscapes.

Sonically, the recent work sets ultra-digital electronic textures against a more analogue feel. Songbyrd mainly hosts concerts focused on pop, rock and indie music, which is the scene this set belongs to.
