Spoon have just announced they will release their new album ‘Transference’ in January 2010.
Britt Daniel, Jim Eno, Eric Harvey and Rob Pope have confirmed their first album in over two years and seventh overall will be released in the U.S. on Merge Records and Spunk records in Australia/New Zealand.
Produced by the band, ‘Transference’ is made up of 11 new gems that honor the Spoon tradition while pushing the envelope of the band’s sound ever further. Before Destruction opens proceedings with a transfixing air of foreboding before Is Love Forever? and The Mystery Zone kick in with hooks that grip the listener’s cortex with the tenacity of an aural tapeworm. Who Makes Your Money and first single Written In Reverse will be familiar to Spoon fans who witnessed the band playing prototypical live versions at select dates in 2008, as will Got Nuffin, title track of the E.P. released by the band earlier this year. ‘Transference’ is the first full length offering of new Spoon material since 2007’s ‘Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga’.
The complete track listing for ‘Transference’ is:
- Before Destruction
- Is Love Forever?
- The Mystery Zone
- Who Makes Your Money
- Written In Reverse
- I Saw The Light
- Trouble Comes Running
- Goodnight Laura
- Out Go The Lights
- Got Nuffin
- Nobody Gets Me But You
