Ulrika Spacek are an English experimental rock band formed in London in 2014, growing out of the Reading group Tripwires. Led by singer-guitarist Rhys Edwards, the quintet blends space rock, krautrock, shoegaze and post-rock into a layered, hypnotic sound. Albums like The Album Paranoia, Modern English Decoration and Compact Trauma earned them a dedicated following in the international indie and psych-rock world. Their fourth album EXPO, released in February 2026 on Full Time Hobby, marks a deliberate turn outward - away from the introspective focus of their earlier records.
Ulrika Spacek released their fourth album EXPO on 6 February 2026 via the independent London label Full Time Hobby.
On 29 October 2025, the band announced the album EXPO and at the same time announced leaving X (formerly Twitter).
The first single 'Build A Box Then Break It' was released simultaneously with the announcement of EXPO.
In September 2024, the band toured North America for three weeks, with performances in cities such as San Francisco, Denver and Mexico City.
Compact Trauma, the band's third album, was released on 10 March 2023 after a silence of almost five years.
