Last week, I heard the latest Spoon album titled Transference, and was disappointed. I was upset because it didn't sound more like Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, which I liked because it was a change for them in sound and production. This album was probably their most successful to date. Ga was an awesome Pop record that I couldn't seem to get off my play lists that year.
On my first listen to Transference, I was asking what happened to the production? It seems like they went back to their old College dorm to record the album. And after a second listen, it really dawned on me; that is exactly what makes this album awesome. The fact they took the risk of finding something that worked and taking a new twist on it.
Britt Daniel's lyrics are the same as they always are, on point. His raspyness is fantastic over songs about heart breaks and trials and tribulation over relationships. It's easy to tell from his lyrics alone that Britt has seen his share of relationships and has broken a few hearts in his time; so watch out ladies.
If you are a fan of Spoon, modern rock or a good interpretation on Pop music I wouldn't hesitate picking up the new project from the Austin boys.
