Spaces - Hadley

Celestial themes such as violent star systems and lunar tranquility set the groundwork for "Nothing Exists but Atoms and the Void", the sophomore release from Brooklyn-based band, Spaces. Band members, Duke Ahrens and Franco Colon, continued with an unconventional approach to songwriting by building a recording studio in a decommissioned ferryboat. The pair drew inspiration from their surroundings to create music that reflects the beauty and wonders of the Universe. This ambitious album encompasses a sonic landscape from intense rhythmic movements to introspective orchestral pieces, making Spaces voyagers of the over-saturated post-rock galaxy.

Spaces is an American instrumental post-rock band based in Brooklyn, NY. They are typically known for their exploration of various genres, often following celestial themes, and have released two full-length albums to date.

Florida natives and longtime friends, guitarist Duke Ahrens and drummer Franco Colon began writing and recording together in 2008. These collaborations would serve as the beginning of their first album, Voyage. For their debut, Spaces wrote and recorded a new song every month, with each one linking to the next by similar sounds and sonic qualities. Local artist and friend, James Sanford, then provided unique artwork for each song, and occasional guest musicians were brought in for additional support. The album was released over an 8 month period, and ended with a total track-listing of 10 songs, spanning over an hour of music.

Spaces returned two years later with their sophomore album, titled Nothing Exists but Atoms and the Void. For the recording of their second album, Ahrens and Colon built a recording studio on a decommissioned ferryboat, and once again enlisted the help of local musicians to perform additional instrumentation. Unlike Voyage, Spaces opted to release the album all at once instead of their previous song-a-month approach. The release of this album was preceded by a promotional teaser video, which featured Ahrens and Colon performing with supporting musicians, as well as footage of the scenery surrounding their boat studio.

According to the band, they have begun practicing for an eventual live show, a first for the studio band.
