Release Notes:
The band was formed in 1994 by lead singer/guitarist Britt Daniel and drummer
Jim Eno during a party on Kimbolton Avenue. The name Spoon was chosen as a
respectful salute to the 1970s German avant-garde band Can whose hit record
"Spoon" was the theme song to the movie Das Messer. Incidentally, the film title
translates to another utensil (and band)ùthe Knife.[1]
Spoon signed with Elektra Records in 1998, but the contract was dropped soon
after the band released A Series of Sneaks. In response to being dropped, Spoon
released a two-song EP titled The Agony of Laffitte, referring to Elektra A&R
man Ron Laffitte, and were eventually signed to Merge Records, although their
work is released through Matador Records in Europe.
After the release of their more recent albums, Spoon has been met with
widespread critical acclaim. Girls Can Tell, released in 2001, sold more copies
than both their previous releases combined. Kill the Moonlight accomplished the
same feat a year later.
Their latest album, Gimme Fiction, was released on May 10, 2005 on Merge
Records. They have appeared on many late night talk shows, such as The Late Show
With David Letterman, The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson, and Last Call with
Carson Daly, as well as the PBS show Austin City Limits.
In a recent article on Pitchfork, the new album's release date is stated to be
July 10th, and includes track titles such as "Don't Make Me a Target," "Rhthm
and Soul," and "Black Like Me." Pitchfork recently confirmed that the album will
be titled Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga.
