Spiritualized: Spaced Out
John Robb, Siren, February 1992
IN A BATTERED armchair collapses a laid back, skin and bone R'n'R trouper with an exquisite record collection and perfect cheekbones. Jason Pierce, ex Spaceman and current Spiritualized head honcho, holds court with a lazy drawl chewing on an accent that's hard to define, his eyes hint at a boyish shyness, his manner belies a deadpan humour that occasionally cracks his pale face into a smile.
