Chris Rediske reports:So before you get all uppity about it, let us just say: We know we just reported Spoon tour dates last Friday. But here's the thing-- those shows, aside from one SXSW date (which already happened) and the Coachella date in April, are all taking place in Europe. Where you, most likely, are not. But you know Spoon loves the native North American-dweller just as much as the next deified indie rock band, which is why they're planning on spending their summer with you and you and you.
Yes, it's true-- Spoon will be marching quickly through the U.S. and Canada for the better part of June in support of their upcoming fifth full-length Gimme Fiction, hitting both coasts before ending up in their hometown of Austin. The Clientele will be along for the ride, and because we're cool like that, we've even reprinted the European dates from last week. Turn your camera on:

But it will be good...naysayers should recall that both the last two were big-time sleepers. You have to let those songs grow into all the empty spaces...

completely. Strong 70's sound to the writing and the production on this. I love how they can sound so muscular and spare at the same time.

for years somehow i was missing the mp3 for 'delicate place'. now that i have it the whole album is fucked up! what a way to ruin the momentum from 'mathematical mind' > 'sister jack'. :/

i might delete that track and go for a run tomorrow and see if you're onto something

We listened to Gimme Fiction so much when it came out when I was working at Tower Records. Me and a couple coworkers had a choreographed dance routine for the first part of 'Sister Jack.' Haha.

Pretty classic mid-2000s album.

Haven't listened to this in years, but man, was this band in a groove. Girls, Moonlight, this, G5 ...
