Spoon is back! They’ve been teasing out the new record for the past few weeks but we finally have the album art (above) and tracklisting (below). Perhaps more importantly we get a taste of the album by way of it’s first single “Rent I Pay” (which they’d been referring to as R.I.P. in the teasers).
It’s a minimalist floor stomping guitar rocker with a heavy beat, stabbing synths, and fuzz-soaked guitar riffs to accompany frontman Britt Daniel as he sings, “every kinda line / is gonna come back to me / just as I go / And that’s the rent I pay / just like my brother say.”
The new album They Want My Soul drops August 5th via Loma Vista.
Here’s the tracklisting:
01 Rent I Pay
