New Spoon EP due out soon.. here’s a taste!
June 29th, 2009
Poking out from under the shadow of last weeks Michael Jackson news, I just found this tid-bit something GOOD in the music world. Spoon will put a new single on the shelves as a teaser for their upcoming EP. My expectations are mixed as I was less impressed with their latest effort, Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, then I have been with any and all previous releases. Though, it’s pretty tough to match the genius that is Kill the Moonlight or Soft Effects, or Girls Can Tell.. and on and on.. And realistically, starting in a low place only leads itself to room to move up, right?
.
So here’s a taste of what’s in store. This single, “Got Nuffin”, will be accompanied by two b-sides entitled “Tweakers” and “Stroke Their Brains.” It’s got all the minimalism and simplicity marked with a slowly expanding sound that make up a typical Spoon track. It’s nothing revolutionary, but the familiarity puts you in a comfortable place. It’s available in CD and MP3 form on their site tomorrow (Tuesday)

Yeah, I agree: everything before Ga Ga… was better, including the album titles. I do like this new track, though. Daniel needs a darker tone to his songs than we’ve seen recently.
