“Hot Thoughts finds Spoon at the peak of their considerable powers …cementing their place in the firmament of undeniably great rock bands.”-UNCUT

“Spoon never fails to hit its mark – delivered forcefully, and with hooks for days.”-NPR

“the title track from their ninth album… rises and falls like an orchestral disco opus, with singer Britt Daniel first unleashing a mechanized croon over a simple beat and trembling strings that bursts with a flourish of guitars. ‘Hot Thoughts’ grows vibrant with each peak and closes with Daniel wailing over a euphoric vamp.”-ROLLING STONE

If the new Spoon single “Can I Sit Next To You” feels eerily familiar, like something that’s been playing in the background of your life for the last few months, there’s actually a good chance it has: For the last few months, a campaign of subliminal placements of “Can I Sit Next To You” has seen the unreleased, unidentifiable track being played at various clubs and venues, as American Airlines boarding music, even by the house bands of the Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel Live. The mystery is solved today, as the song has been revealed and released as the second single from Spoon’s upcoming ninth album Hot Thoughts, out March 17 on Matador Records.

“Can I Sit Next To You” follows on the album’s first single and title track-and its mystical Aura Reader –with a sleek, steady-paced groove, as eerie bits of synth skitter around the chorus. “Can I Sit Next To You” is available now at http://smarturl.it/Stream_Can_I_Sit.

To accompany the new single, Spoon has unveiled a new video, directed by Marcel Dzama, the acclaimed contemporary artist whose previous musical collaborators have included the likes of Beck and Bob Dylan, not to mention last year’s costume and stage design for the New York City Ballet’s The Most Incredible Thing. The “Can I Sit Next To You” video can be seen here.

Spoon has added several dates to the recently announced world tour that kicks off February 27 with an intimate one-off at London’s legendary 100 Club and includes a marquee date at the Hollywood Bowl. After a pair of dates in Australia during the week of the album release, Spoon will be bringing Hot Thoughts to the South with stops in Tampa, Orlando, Charleston, Raleigh and more, marking the beginning of a busy year of touring for the band. Pre-sales for the new dates (in bold below) begin February 22 at local time, with tickets going on sale to the general public on February 24 at 10am local time.

Don’t forget-for those heading to SXSW, be sure to catch the band’s three-night release week SXSW residency at “The Main”, where Spoon will be curating an individual line up each night March 14-16. See below for a full list of dates and keep up with Spoon on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and of course spoontheband.com.

HOT THOUGHTS AURA READER
CREATE YOUR CUSTOM HOT THOUGHTS AVATAR

Hollywood Bowl and Merriweather Post Pavilion Shows Confirmed

New Album Out March 17 on Matador Records

In anticipation of its forthcoming ninth album heralded by a title track that “rises and falls like an orchestral disco opus” (Rolling Stone), Spoon has launched the “Hot Thoughts” Aura Reader app.

While the Aura Reader name may sound intimidating, the way the web app works is actually quite simple: A fan creates a Spoon Spotify playlist, the Aura Reader analyzes that playlist then creates a individualized version of the Hot Thoughts album cover with different colors in the artwork’s signature watercolor skull, creating a reflection of each fan’s own… wait for it… hot thoughts.

The customized Hot Thoughts skulls can then be used by fans as avatars on Twitter, Instagram, and various other social media.

To use the Spoon Hot Thoughts Aura Reader, go to http://aura.spoontheband.com

To pre-save the album on Spotify, go here: http://bit.ly/2lhcqTo

Spoon will release Hot Thoughts March 17 on Matador Records. Reuniting the band with the label that released their 1996 debut, Telephono, and following on Spoon’s streak of three consecutive Top 10 albums – Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga (2007), Transference (2010) and They Want My Soul (2014) – Hot Thoughts is nothing short of an epic. Co-produced by Spoon and Dave Fridmann, the quartet has created the bravest, most sonically inventive work of the catalogue that has made it the most critically acclaimed act of the first decade of the new millennium (http://www.metacritic.com/feature/best-music-of-the-decade). Within the space of 10 songs, Hot Thoughts creates a musical universe of its own, with individual worlds ranging from the kaleidoscopic opening title track-available to stream here or as an instant download with all pre-orders placed at http://smarturl.it/Spoon_Hot_Thoughts – through the gargantuan stomp of “Do I Have To Talk You Into It” and ubiquitous wiry hooks of “Can I Sit Next To You” to the bittersweetness of “I Ain’t The One” (which recently received a surprise reveal in the penultimate episode of the current season of Showtime’s Shameless) and beyond.

Those in search of new Spoon vinyl can celebrate Valentines Day by pre-ordering exclusive heart-red vinyl at local indie record stores. Exclusive purple vinyl is available at the Matador online store, while various merch bundles featuring vinyl LPs are available directly from Spoon. Details on all vinyl options can be found at http://www.spoontheband.com/.

Spoon has also confirmed a three-night release week SXSW residency for which the band will resurrect the original, classic Austin venue Emo’s location, currently referred to as “The Main,” on March 14, 15 and 16. The band will curate a unique line up each night and will stubbornly be referring to the venue as “Eno’s.”

Spoon has also confirmed additional dates of the impending Hot Thoughts world tour, including a just announced pair of shows with Belle and Sebastian July 30th at Merriweather Post Pavilion (tickets on sale February 17 at Ticketmaster.com) and August 6th at the Hollywood Bowl (http://bit.ly/2lwPJvm for more info).

Months of speculation come to an end today as details of the new Spoon album can be confirmed: Austin’s most esteemed rock ambassadors will release their ninth album, Hot Thoughts, March 17 on Matador Records.

Reuniting the band with the label that released their 1996 debut, Telephono, and following on Spoon’s streak of three consecutive Top 10 albums — Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga (2007), Transference (2010) and They Want My Soul (2014) — Hot Thoughts is nothing short of an epic.

Having recently sneak previewed Hot Thoughts material in a surprise hometown warm-up, Spoon has also confirmed a three-night release week SXSW residency for which the band will resurrect the original, classic Austin venue Emo’s location, currently referred to as “The Main” on March 14, 15 and 16.

LISTEN TO FIRST REMIX BY FABRIZIO MORETTI HERE

SWEET SPIRIT AND THE ANTLERS ADDED TO UPCOMING DATES 

LISTEN TO BRITT DANIEL ON WTF WITH MARC MARON HERE

“… gossamer synth patters and swooning romanticism. When lead singer Britt Daniel asks the listener to “Break out of character for me,” the tenderness is almost shocking.” – TIME MAGAZINE

“Inside Out” finds submissive contentment amidst a drift that hints at eternity… the track willingly enters that ether as koi-pond synths twinkle in the distance, its tranquility tempered by the fact that Spoon have never made a song quite this pretty before. – PITCHFORK

“a luxuriant slow-burner with a sweet harp (!) solo, and you should listen.” – STEREOGUM

“Inside Out” goes for the gusto in terms of chill, orchestral electronica, (have those three words ever been used in succession to describe a Spoon song?) “We got nothing else to give cuz time’s gone inside out.” What an intriguing lyric to wind out this song, as we look back upon this band’s rich catalog. – PASTE

It was kismet last Friday when Justin Vernon of Bon Iver released his own haunting version of “Inside Out” from Spoon’s acclaimed album They Want My Soul. Today, four more versions of the song are revealed as Spoon releases an EP of remixes by Fabrizio Moretti of The Strokes, Operators, Tycho and Brian Reitzell. The four track EP is available via digital retailers April 28.

You can check out Fabrizio Moretti’s remix right here, right now: https://vimeo.com/115992482 

You can also listen to Spoon’s demo for “Inside Out”, which premiered at Song Exploder. Check it out here. Previously, Spoon discussed the making of the song on an episode of the Song Exploder podcast, archived here for your listening pleasure.

If this didn’t satisfy any lingering Spoon cravings, take a listen to Britt Daniel’s appearance on WTF With Marc Maron, as he delves into his childhood in Temple, TX, young love and heartbreak, and The Cure: http://www.wtfpod.com/podcast/episodes/episode_594_-_britt_daniel_jon_ronson

Last, but not least, Spoon are on tour in May and June to play songs from their storied catalogue as well as to work on some new material. Don’t miss your chance to catch them live. Full list of tour dates below.

Spoon’s latest album, They Want My Soul (Loma Vista), received unanimous critical acclaim upon its release including innumerable top-tier placements in year-end lists. In their Music Portfolio on stands now,GQ praises Spoon’s ability to reach new heights on their new album: “You’d think the laser-cut songs onThey Want My Soul sprang from the mind of a Zeitgeisty 20-year-old. You’d be wrong…How many indie bands hit another peak on their eighth album? We can think of exactly one.”
