Ulrika Spacek in Washington

Ulrika Spacek are a British rock band formed in Berlin by Rhys Edwards and Rhys Williams. Their music draws on psychedelic rock, shoegaze and krautrock repetition, heard on the albums The Album Paranoia, Modern English Decoration and Compact Trauma, as well as songs including “She's a Cult” and “Mimi Pretend.” The band’s early concert history was tied to KEN, the shared home, studio and gallery in Homerton where its members curated and played shows. Tours supporting the first two albums took their layered guitar arrangements through clubs and festivals in Britain and continental Europe; after a gap between records, the Compact Trauma period included a headline show at Village Underground in London.
