Seriously, this is just great. It feels so Spoon.
This is now my most looked-forward to rock album of the year.

This appears to be coming out March 17, on Matador by the way.
Spoon hasn't been on Matador since Telephono (also know as "Spoon' Pablo Honey") in 1996. I don't actually think the label matters much. They released
They Want my Soul on Loma Vista after a decade plus with Merge, and it still sounded Spoony.
Gotta say, that record (TWMS) was the first Spoon album that didn't really turn my crank on first listen, and didn't eventually grow into a staple. I haven't listened to it since the year of its release. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it, and it certainly wasn't bad. It was good, just not immediately memorable (despite great art, title). It was no
Ga or
Sneaks. So I'm hoping for something that hits the spot right away.
