?Hailing from Austin, TX, Spoon originated in 1994 as a collaboration between Britt Daniel (vocals/guitar) and Jim Eno (drums) and a rotating cast of supporting players. Their hybrid of indie and punk resulted in a number of Sonic Youth and Pixies comparisons after their 1996 debut album, Telephono. Spoon toured with the likes of Pavement, Guided by Voices, Silkworm, and Archers of Loaf before their Soft Effects EP was released in 1997. Following an ill-fated move to Elektra Records, which found them being    [ read more ]

A collection of five brand new songs in the indomitable Spoon style: angular guitars, pulsating drums, and deftly catchy lyrics. Britt Daniel creates insistent riffs which draw the listener in immediately, then melt into a dizzying, gorgeous array of pop-song choruses with enough jagged edges to feel just a little bit dangerous.Austin, TX quartet writing future classics today. Seriously.

Out of print for nearly five years, Telephono and Soft Effects are now available digitally! With amped-up acoustic guitars, jumpy song structures, and a punk attitude, Telephono (1996) was the shot across the bow from Austin's fledgling rock heroes. The follow-up, Soft Effects (1997), features five of Spoon's strongest songs and marks a leap forward in the band's repertoire, signaling the great things to come on subsequent Spoon albums.

With a history of stellar records, Spoon has topped themselves with Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, a thrilling album recorded throughout 2006 in Austin by the band and Mike McCarthy (except 'The Underdog', recorded in Los Angeles with Jon Brion). Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga starts with 'Don't Make Me a Target', a song that builds on Spoon's familiar minimal rhythmic piano/guitar vamp popularized on earlier hits like 'Small Stakes' or 'The Way We Get By'. The album quickly moves into uncharted territory with the atmosphe   [ read more ]

Spoon make some of the catchiest, most confident rock 'n' roll of any group around. Their fifth full-length is nothing short of a dizzying, soulful masterpiece, easily the most expansive work in their career. Gimme Fiction is a sprawling, exhilarating, filler-free album of keenly focused artistic vision and ambition.

The record you've been awaiting since 2001's critically acclaimed 'Girls Can Tell,' and Britt Daniel, Jim Eno, and the rest of the band firmly deliver. Recorded in Eno's Austin studio throughout the winter and spring of 2002, 'Kill the Moonlight' is a staggering achievement, with stylistic range and emotional depth far beyond that of prior Spoon works. A mind blowing, life-affirming rock & roll record that is a match for any classic you care to name.

In 1998, Spoon released it's second full-length 'A Series of Sneaks' on Elektra Records. Magnet magazine called that record 'one of the best rock LP's released this decade.' The band was soon dropped by Elektra however, less than four months after the release of 'Sneaks'. This two-song CD is somewhat of a response to the experience. A bit more grown up, but with just as much spirit as their earlier material, this recording shows that Spoon just keep getting better, and are not going away.    [ read more ]
