Spoon Artist Snapshot:

Austin, Texas, indie popsters Spoon first hit the scene in 1996, releasing their debut album on New York's venerable Matador Records. With a solid, melodic punk sound firmly in place, Spoon would go on to develop a bolder, more adventurous aesthetic, incorporating the musical stylings of such towering '60s bands as the Kinks and the Zombies. The band hopped labels during the late '90s and early 2000s while continuing to expand upon the smart, instantly catchy sound that has made them one of indie-rock's premier bands.

Rolling Stone (9/5/02, p.72) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Spoon balance cool mechanical noise with analog warmth...offering midtempo ditties and carefully layered rhythms..."
Spin (1/03, p.73) - Ranked #38 on Spin's list of 2002's "Albums of the Year" - "...Austin, Texas' finest massage the Kinks out of their taut indie rock, hammering on pianos, synths, and drum machines..."
Uncut (1/03, p.96) - Ranked #42 in Uncut's "100 Best Albums of the Year"
Uncut (10/02, p.120) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...expand(s) on the strengths of (their) breakthrough third LP...They make you happy, and remind you why you're sad: the perfect high."
CMJ (12/30/02, p.11) - Ranked #8 on CMJ's "Top 10 of 2002"
NME (Magazine) (9/21/02, p.38) - 7 out of 10 - "...Spoon rehouse '70s glam rock in a post-grunge setting...as a nifty demonstration of how to balance eggheaded art-indie cred with genuine thrills, this takes some beating."

Title Note

Spoon: Britt Daniel (vocals, guitar); Mike McCarthy (12-String guitar); Matt Brown (saxophone); Eggo Johanson (piano, keyboards, tambourine); Joshua Zarbo, John Clayton (bass); Jim Eno (drums); Brad Shenfield (dabouke).

Producers: Britt Daniel, Jim Eno, Mike McCarthy.

Building on the momentum of 2001's critically acclaimed GIRLS CAN TELL, Spoon unveiled KILL THE MOONLIGHT the following year. The Austin, Texas-based band's second outing for Merge Records finds frontman Britt Daniel and company settling comfortably into a mutually advantageous relationship with the revered indie label, resulting in a confident and creative album. The group reins in its blatant Pavement-isms, opting for a more stripped-down approach that relies on straightforward beats, minimal keyboard lines and guitar riffs, and smart melodies. Daniel hits a detached falsetto on the heavily looped, Krautrock-like "Stay Don't Go" (foreshadowing GIMME FICTION's "I Turn My Camera On"), while "Jonathan Fisk" is a garagey, no-frills rock tune that wouldn't have been out of place on the Strokes' debut. Keeping things spare, yet surprisingly eclectic, is what elevates KILL THE MOONLIGHT above similarly conceived underground albums, and, not surprisingly, this quality helped to make it one of 2002's most lauded indie-rock releases.
