Spiritualized complete new album

Jason Pierce has completed the new Spiritualized album and announced that it will be released in early 2008. The first since 2003, Pierce has therefore - by my maths - had five years to complete this work, meaning expectations are as ever are high. Those wishing to get a sneak preview of what Pierce is describing as a record that is "the work of the devil...with a little guidance from me" should head to the Union Chapel on 9 Dec where he's promising to play some of it.
