Spacebomb channels visions, interprets dreams and listens to the infinite, chasing–to borrow a phrase from Mr. Ayler’s playbook–”The Healing Force of The Universe”, into the studio, onto the road, through our fingers, into circuits, tubes and knobs and out the other side, back into the air. Drawing life from the indescribable shapes of sound that move around us every day is our calling and our business and we’re so grateful for your support. There are mountains of music to listen to and for a few minutes you have chosen to rest with us. Thank you.

In May of 2012, a man called Howard Ivans stopped by our attic studio to record two tracks. What followed has been etched onto this piece of round plastic–SB003–and our hearts forever. Yeah, it’s grand, melancholy, grooving and true. Chromatic-eyed soul. These two songs, a one-off session, encompass a fully realized world of sound. Bedroom music and party music, work music and dance music, music for the wedding and the honeymoon, for swimming through the shadowed city streets at night.

Hear the attic move and shake like a well-oiled machine, making records the Spacebomb way. A perfect match for Ivans’ vision, for the man who made a song-by-song cover album of Sade’s “Love Deluxe”, channeling all his love for the history of satin-lined R&B into creating (and crooning) these two remarkably heartfelt songs.
