Ulrika Spacek is a British experimental rock band from London, known for their hypnotic blend of jagged guitar textures and dreamlike atmospherics. There’s a strange comfort in Ulrika Spacek’s dissonance, since emerging from the shadows of a creaking East London house known only as “KEN,” the band has quietly built a reputation for turning existential inertia into sound.Formed in 2014 by Rhys Edwards and Rhys Williams, Ulrika Spacek began as an insular project and has remained defiantly self-contained with the addition of Joseph Stone, Callum Brown, Syd Kemp and Rhys Jenkins.Debut album The Album Paranoia (2016) introduced listeners to a meticulously crafted world of off-kilter melodies and enveloping drones. It was followed by Modern English Decoration (2017), a critically acclaimed second LP that pushed their sound into more refined and textural territory. After a period of near-silence, they returned in 2024 with Compact Trauma, an album that channeled the anxiety and dislocation of the modern age through a prismatic haze of guitars, loops, and elliptical lyrics. The music lives in the liminal space between introspection and abrasion, the melodic and the abstract. With emphasis on sonic experimentation, visual art, and immersive live performances, the band make records the way people write journals: privately, obsessively, with a sense that they may go unread. And somehow, that makes them feel even more intimate. Fourth album ‘EXPO’ is due to be released early 2026.
