iTunes Review
The Austin, Texas duo of guitarist-pianist Britt Daniel and drummer Jim Eno have been together since 1994, and have slowly learned to create a singular, identifiable sound that's much larger than the garage-rock minimalism of most recent dynamic duos. They've evolved with a dark dramatic game of songwriting that relies on ominous pounding chords, stretches of instrumental dissonance, and a stiff funk that threatens to run off the track. Their fifth album, Gimme Fiction is a strong follows up 2002's breakthrough, Kill the Moonlight. "I Turn My Camera On" sports a mock falsetto from the Jagger-Beck school of vocal affectation, while "The Beast and Dragon, Adored" imagines what the Fall's Mark E. Smith might sound like if he weren't tone deaf. In the end, Spoon's quirky arrangements add spice, but it's the hummable melodies underneath their tough exterior that worm their way into your subconscious and heart.
Recent Customer Reviews
Great music, great group
by Bubba TexThe Underdog lead me to Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga and it was so good I came back looking for more. Gimme Friction might even be better. Love these guys - can't believe I did not find them sooner.
All around great album
by Hello my name is ninja.This is Spoon's best album by far. How does no one else know about these guys?!?! I personally like Two sides/Monsiuer Valentine and My Mathematical Mind best, after listening to the album many times over. They are all engaging, and show great talent. Hope to see more!
No Filler
by EssentialismNo filler on this album. Every cut is strong. Walks the fine line between experimental and accessible perfectly. Quirky rhythms and clever lyrics, with grooves and emotion to move you. You can dance to this or just listen. Highest recommendation.
