Jason Pierce brought an atmospheric and sublime show of Spiritualized songs to Islington’s Union Chapel last night (December 9).
Joined by Doggen from Spiritualized on keyboards and harmonica; the pair were accompanied by the London Community Gospel Choir and a string quartet on the chapel’s stage.
The ever-publically reticent Pierce sat facing away from the audience, playing acoustic guitar and reading from a song book. The nearly two hour set comprised songs throughout Pierce’s career, from Spacemen 3 as well as Spiritualized albums, with several tracks from 2001’s ‘Let It Come Down’.
Adding to the Christmas-sy atmosphere in the church, the group sang carol ‘Silent Night’ during the encore.
Pierce has now completed recording a new Spiritualized studio album, and will hopefully be released in the Spring.
Spiritualized play the Union Chapel again tonight (December 10).
