Song's in A&E, the first LP in half a decade from J. Spaceman and his Spiritualized, will be released May 19 in the UK and Europe on Universal/Spaceman (as previously reported). The band revealed the disc's title and tracklist via a MySpace bulletin today, and from the looks of it, there's some kind of recurring "Harmony" theme running throughout the proceedings. Sounds, y'know, harmonious!

Still no info about a North American release for the set, though we're assured that's on the way.

After a previously reported stop at the iTunes Live thing in London, the band will make their way to California in April for a trio of dates (including Coachella) before heading back to the UK and Europe around the release of A&E. (No, not the new Goldfrapp single).

In other Spiritualized news, bandleader J. Spaceman will provide the score for the forthcoming Harmony Korine film Mister Lonely.
