Out Today: Spoon, “Transference”

I’m of the opinion that Spoon is flat out the best rock band in America, but I am still warming up to their new one. Reviewing it for Pitchfork, Awl contributor Matthew Perpetua says, “Following the creative strides made on their last few Merge releases, the only big surprise on Transference is that they’ve become willing to let their hair down a bit. It can be a bit of a let down if you come in expecting another blockbuster like Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, but something of a revelation if you meet them halfway.” So I guess I’ll try that!
