Description
EXPO is the fourth album from cult alternative psych band Ulrika Spacek
EXPO marks the long-awaited return of Ulrika Spacek, the cult alternative psych band known for their hypnotic blend of art-rock precision and post-punk abstraction. Emerging from the vibrant London DIY scene, the band built its reputation on immersive, meticulously layered soundscapes that merge angular guitars, droning atmospheres, and emotionally charged vocals. Their music evokes the restless experimentation of Television, the atmospheric density of Radiohead, and the taut, rhythmic urgency of Moin and Crack Cloud—yet their sound remains unmistakably their own.
On EXPO, Ulrika Spacek turns inward, creating an album that is colder, darker, and more electronically textured than their previous work. The band describes the writing process as one born of freedom and aimlessness: “There’s a lot that can be said about writing when there is no aim; there is a freedom and a purity in it which opens a door to more music, and in this case, it set a mood for a new album, one that would be colder, darker, and one that would embrace electronics and new instrumentation in a new terrain. The album’s greater theme is isolation and alienation in an online world where it seems everybody around you is constantly exhibiting themselves, living in public wanting to be seen and heard. The age of ‘individuality’ is lonely, it’s a room of concave mirrors, and with this in mind, we set upon making our most collective effort; it’s back to strength in numbers, count in fives.”
From the fractured introspection of “Build a Box Then Break It” to the existential pulse of “A Modern Low,” EXPO captures the dissonance of modern connection and the haunting stillness of self-reflection. It is a meditation on identity in the digital age—simultaneously expansive and claustrophobic, mechanical yet deeply human. For fans of Television, Radiohead, Moin, and Crack Cloud, EXPO stands as Ulrika Spacek’s boldest and most complete artistic statement to date.
