Willie Nelson's 89th, ACM Awards Nominees (and Snubs), Kelly Clarkson and Dolly Parton's "9-to5" Duet, Don Henley's Near Miss with "The Boys of Summer," Austin American-Statesman's Best Songs About Texas, Spoon on the Sofa, St. Vincent does Bowie on Pelaton.
The first half of 2022 is packed with promising new music.
Having relocated to Austin, Texas, their home town, and binged on ZZ Top, Spoon re-embrace the whip and crackle of unvarnished guitar rock on this sprightly tenth album. On 2017’s Hot Thoughts they veered into Prince-like, synth-guided pop-funk, and that wasn’t unsexy. This latest album feels like a positive U-turn, however. It’s crisp and candid, evoking the rubicund clarity of early Pretenders or Cheap Trick, with a dash of semi-forgotten 00s San Diego post-punkers Louis XIV.
