Ulrika Spacek return on June 2nd with the release of their second album, Modern English Decoration. Much like their debut album released in early 2016, the band chose to record, produce and mix the entirety of the record in their shared house – a former art gallery called KEN, so named because of a cryptic inscription found above the front door. Not just a studio and home, KEN is essentially the band’s hub, a space in which the surrounding ephemera of videos, artwork and even band photos are all created.

Ulrika Spacek formed in Berlin in one night, when 14-year-long friends Rhys Edwards and Rhys Williams conceptualised ‘Ulrika Spacek’ and came up with The Album Paranoia as their debut album title. Moving back to London with the intention to record it, they were joined by Joseph Stone (guitars, organ, synths, violin), Ben White (bass) and Callum Brown (drums, percussion), ossifying into the five-piece they are now. The album was released soon after with little forewarning and was accompanied by a near-monthly club night called Oysterland that the band both curated and performed at.

Less than 18 months later, the follow up arrives eerily fully formed, somewhat inevitably according to Edwards: "We started making this record as soon as we finished our first. Like our debut, we started with Track One on the album and went from there.” “We enjoy listening to music through the album format and want our records to reflect that”, says Rhys Edwards (guitars, vocals, synthesiser). “Though we may explore this in the future, our records are not 'jam' records. We’re fans of collage based art, and create music in the same way”.

Cooking Vinyl, who released All Bright Electric, will be releasing special editions of the band’s previous two albums Generation Freakshow & Renegades which have been unavailable to buy digitally and physically for some time now. 

Originally released on the band’s own Big Teeth label, these reissued special editions will feature the original album in full, plus many of the original and hard to find b-sides and bonus tracks released during each era.

The bands 7th album Renegades was released in July 2010 and charted at #16.  It featured the singles ‘Call Out’, ‘Renegades’, ‘This Town’ and ‘Down To The River’. This was followed by Generation Freakshow originally released in April 2012 and charted at #13.  It featured the singles ‘Borders’, ‘Children of the Sun’ and ‘Idaho’.
