The first single off Spoon‘s forthcoming album is out. (Thanks Laure!) It’s good stuff, though also feels like a clear departure from their last few albums, sounding a bit like a B-side from a New Wave band fronted by Steve Reich. (I actually had to go check Wikipedia to make sure drummer Jim Eno wasn’t related to that Other Guy whose surname is the greatest gift to crossword constructors since Melville wrote Omoo.) No idea whether that signals a new direction or if it’s the album’s odd man out, but give it a listen.
