Matthew E. White and the band just finished their month-long trek across Europe, and they have quite a bit to show for it, like a sold-out headlining date at London’s legendary Queen Elizabeth Hall and some fantastic press and sessions they did along the way. One article caught our attention in a special way as it paints a portrait of not just how White came to be “2013’s finest newcomer,” but also how Spacebomb was born.

“You’re only going to see the whole Spacebomb picture when it’s a collage of records”

May’s issue of Uncut Magazine, available worldwide, tells author John Mulvey’s story of dropping in on Richmond for a few days to see how Spacebomb makes it its home.
