spoon - gimmie fiction
overall I didn't enjoy this as much as I wanted to, but tht doesn't mean there aren't some great moments. I enjoy the more stylized Spoon, when they avoid the bar band thing. Occasionally the studio stuff seems a little forced ("sister jack","was it you"), but it works overall. I think these guys have been listening to the the cure (in the production and overall simplicity) and some sort of 60/70(stones/ let it beatles/whatever in the melodic content and guitars) thing (sort of an odd combo, no?). I'll take:
"I turn my camera on" -a mazing amazing song. in my head for days loose but precise. simple but still a jam. check the eric bachman backing vox!
"The delicate place"
"sister jack"
"I summon you"
"They never got you"
