Sweet Heart Sweet Light is the seventh studio album by Spiritualized. Though the band members have changed over time, the lead singer, named Jason Pierce, has remained the one constant. In Sweet Heart Sweet Light, Pierce wrote every song on the album.

Jason Pierce

The music on Sweet Heart Sweet Light can best be described as spacy dream pop, not unlike Free Energy (though a little less upbeat) or MGMT. The mood of the music is introspective and nostalgic. As a recovering drug addict, you can really sense the sincerity and regret in Pierce's voice with every song.

Favorite tracks: "Too Late" and "Freedom" are very nice ballads that are fun to listen to on a rainy day. Whereas "Hey Jane" is a monster of a track that almost feels like two different songs. The first half is like fast-paced Strokes song, and the second half is a melodic mix of Pierce and background singers. But there isn't really one song on the album that will let you down.
