Artist- Spoon
Album- Transference
Label- Merge
Genre- Folk-alterna-indie pop
On their highly anticipated followup to 2007’s Top Ten hit album Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, Spoon proves once again that they’re one of the most reliable bands in indie rock. Perfectly aggressive acoustic guitar riffs combine with the deceptively-simple drum patterns that seem to characterize Spoon songs. For the first time the band is working without an outside producer, and the songs are rawer than ever. Singer Britt Daniels is perhaps one of the best vocalists out there in that his voice is rough even that you believe what he’s selling. “Out Go the Lights” aches with twangy guitars and melancholic yearning. “Got Nuffin’” is the closest thing to a single on this album and boy it’s a killer of a track, chugging rhythm and angular guitars. In a way, the band is refocusing on their definitive songwriting skills instead of veering off into pop territory. Focused yet sounding looser than their previous albums, don’t expect another hit like “Way We Get By” but definitely don’t discount this lovely album.
