Spoon Rocks And I Wish I Was Britt Daniel

in
By Matt Littlefair (CHARTattack) October 16, 2007 12:00 pm
I was excited for Monday night's concert at the Kool Haus. After watching Spoon's masterful Oct. 6 performance on Saturday Night Live, I was sure this was gonna be a good one. If they could kill on SNL, how could they not simply decimate an audience when afforded an appropriate sold-out venue and a solid chunk of time? The sure-thing paid off as...

Spoon — Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) July 10, 2007 12:20 pm
Every once in a while when you're reviewing a record close to deadline you panic that you haven't heard it enough. I sincerely thought I'd listened to Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga five or six times at most before I turned it on to start writing about it. Then it hit me that I'd actually played it a far greater number of times and that all of the material was...

Stranger Than Fiction (Music From The Motion Picture)

in
By Caitlin Hotchkiss (CHARTattack) January 3, 2007 8:44 pm
If there's one thing Zach Braff proved with Garden State — other than the fact that The Shins will change your life — it's that making the indie-rock connection with your film soundtrack is a surefire win. Brian Reitzell follows the same path here, hooking up with Spoon's Britt Daniel to create a solid mix of collaborative tracks, old favourites (...

Spoon — Gimme Fiction

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) May 10, 2005 11:57 am
"Where you been gone so long?" Spoon frontman Brit Daniel croons on Gimme Fiction's opener, "The Beast And Dragon, Adored." It's been almost three years since Spoon's last album, but this one, like all the rest, was worth the wait. Spoon are, bar none, one of the most consistent bands on the planet. From their acclaimed debut...

Spoon — Girls Can Tell

in
By Chris Burland (CHARTattack) January 18, 2001 12:58 pm
Parents are always throwing around sayings like "Every cloud has a silver lining…" or "When one door closes, another door opens…" to comfort a child who's suffered a life setback. Austin, TX's quartet, Spoon should count their lucky stars that they got out from under the recording behemoth Elektra/Warner while the going was...

Deerhunter, Spoon Are Pleasant Live

in
By Matt Littlefair (CHARTattack) March 30, 2010 4:27 pm
The trip to the Sound Academy is always a bit of... well, a trip. Easing out into the industrial wasteland that is Cherry Street below Lakeshore Boulevard is like driving through Detroit after sundown, and like Detroit it looks better with the lights out. That drive/walk/bike ride always adds a certain "Je ne sais quoi" to the...

Spoon — "Written In Reverse" (Live On Conan)

Spoon appeared on The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien on Tuesday (Jan. 19) night, performing "Written In Reverse" from their recently released seventh album, Transference. Gotta love that dig O'Brien got in at NBC before they started. Guess he's gotta get 'em while he can.

Spoon — Transference

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) January 19, 2010 5:17 pm
Spoon's seventh album is a move away from the poppy tunes on 2007's Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga and a return back to the post-punk and Kraut-rock influenced sounds of 2001's Girls Can Tell and 2002's Kill The Moonlight. Musically, Transference has very little in common with Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. The horns, kotos, Spanish guitars and other instruments found on...
