Spoon are back with a new two-song single which they recorded this summer in Austin with producer Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Beck, Nine Inch Nails, St. Vincent). It’s their first new music since 2022’s Lucifer on the Sofa.
“We started work on an album this year and the way that normally goes, we write, we rehearse, we record, we mix, we get it all wrapped up tightly and then start putting songs out into the world,” Britt Daniel says. “But as we finished up the first two songs for the LP, it crossed somebody’s mind and eventually all of ours that these two really should come out now. Let’s get them out there. And so here they are today, ‘Chateau Blues’ and ‘Guess I’m Fallin In Love.’ Two new tunes with distinct personalities that were summoned into the world the past few months in Austin TX and Providence RI.”
Both “Chateau Blues” and “Guess I’m Fallin In Love” have a raw, gritty feel that recalls early-’00s records like Girls Can Tell and Kill the Moonlight. Listen below.
Spoon kick off their North American tour tonight in Santa Ana, and then immediately hook up with Pixies, who Britt says are “a band that some may know has long been near and dear to me.” Anybody who’s heard Spoon’s first album, Telephono, knows what an influence Pixes had on Spoon early on. “It’s a real pleasure and we’re real happy to be getting back into gig world for a sec. See you down front.”
Spoon’s tour also includes an appearance at Asbury Park’s Sea.Hear.Now festival on September 14. All dates are listed below.
