Ulrika Spacek - "Compact Trauma" | Album Review
How do you sort the recording of an album when everything seems to be shutting and places feel alienated? Ulrika Spacek’s latest album, Compact Trauma, arrives as a sharp, psych-blowing, krautrock-flavored manifest of a band coming back to surface after a self-imposed banish and overcoming the strangeness of its own ethos.
ALBUM OF THE WEEK: Ulrika Spacek - "Compact Trauma"
Best experienced in full, Compact Trauma is an evolution for the band, warping and weaving through loungy psych and fragmented art rock to create something glowing and evergreen. It’s detailed in inner struggle, fighting demons of self-doubt and addiction, wrestling with defeatist mental issues and finding its place in the world.
