Spoon is an American rock band formed in Austin, Texas.
"A friend of mine once summed up Spoon's appeal by saying "I feel like they're on my side." That's as good a summation as any for Britt Daniel's songwriting, which takes some pretty perplexing interpersonal stuff and turns it into simple, yet sophisticated music with a wide appeal that never detracts from its intimacy. Daniel's been writing pop songs about love and other love-like emotions for over a decade now, but he's yet to write anything condescending, caddish, or cheesy; especially considering the output of his peers, his consistency in this regard is like Cal Ripken or something. 2007 finally gave Spoon the widespread commercial acclaim they've deserved for so long: Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga hit Billboard's top 10, and the band played "Saturday Night Live".

Single "Do You" released 7/2/2014.
:r) Good Record!
Do You is a great lead single. It usually takes a good hard listen for me to really appreciate Spoon songs, but with each record they drift more and more toward an affinity for some really catchy stuff. Love it.
Can’t wait for this….
My anticipation for this album is the most I’ve felt for an album in years. LIke a physical lump in my chest. How ridiculous.
And impressive that it hasn’t leaked considering plenty of people have promo copies.
It should be leaking any day now. Been a rather large gap in solid leaks lately. Last album released that I was actually excited about was Swans, and that was 3 months ago.
anyone in Australia? read rumor it’s streaming on iTunes Australia
finnally
It’s definitely there. I just can’t listen to it because I’m not in Australia.
‘Do You?’ is probably one of the most delightful songs I’ve heard this year. Can’t wait for the full album!
This is horrible, my favorite band seen them like 12 times last few years and I can’t get it because of the phantom facebook group can’t be found.
Dude, in Facebook’s search bar (Search for People, places things) jus type ‘Tenemos un Papá Pirata’ and you’ll find it. It’s private so you have to apply to get in, but they accept everyone so don’t worry about it.

A really good album.
VO just leaked too
This album is ridiculously good.
