One of Spoon’s most intriguing aspects is that close to twenty years into the music business, their sound continues to evolve. Last year’s They Want My Soul was a sublime seduction of pop melodies that aimed straight for the gut, and it’ll be great to see the reinvigorated band (previous to last year’s album, they hadn’t recorded since 2010’s Transference), bring their new tunes on tour.
Along with their stops through U.S. and Canadian cities, Spoon is also teaming up with The Decemberists for a Red Rocks amphitheater performance on May 27.

Here’s my favorite track from “They Want My Soul” – it’s a little ditty called “Inside Out.”
