They Want More Spoon Dates

After the band members spent the past few years working on their own projects – including Daniel forming Divine Fits with Wolf Parade’s Dan Bocekner – Spoon hit the studio in late 2013 for the follow-up to 2010’s Transference. In August the group released They Want My Soul, which Pitchfork stamped with its “best new music” label and a score of 8.6.

Rolling Stone writes, “No failed electronic experiment or breakup drama has sullied their run. It’s just been one long stretch of slow-build greatness.” The magazine gives They Want My Soul four out of five stars and proclaims, “Spoon’s eighth album is an immediate grabber on par with the group’s best work to date.” 

Spoon’s next trek will take the band to Europe in November with gigs in Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, France and England.
