Stream Spoon’s New Album!

Transference, the latest album from Austin, TX, rockers Spoon, doesn’t drop until next Tuesday, January 19 — but you can hear the entire album right now, courtesy of NPR.

In SPIN’s January/February issue, contributing writer Melissa Maerz reviews the quartet’s new release, issuing it seven-out-of-10 stars. "On their seventh album, [Spoon] re-embrace indie-ness, reviving the live-in-the-studio sound of their early albums," writes Maerz. "Rarely going beyond three chords, Transference is an aural Zen garden: minimalist lines and meticulously rendered patterns anchored by Britt Daniel’s brittle cool."
