DON'T LOOK BACK IN ANGER : THE ALBUMS, 2017.


17/spoon/hot thoughts

Spoon shoots straight. And for them, shooting straight equals spewing hot thoughts melting their minds, and letting them flourish throughout the melodies and rhythms accenting each track. Hot Thoughts. Present in that gospel breakdown in "WhisperI'lllistentohearit". Seen in the woozy instrumental blowout that is the album closer, "Us". Highlighted in Britt Daniel's ever present casual sex appeal, and let out through his ferocious snarl. You can catch them in the pulsating, rhythmic back beat of "Shotgun", and see them be allowed to shimmer yet again in the spaced out, wordless funk of "Can I Sit Next to You"'s closing minutes. Hot Thoughts, melting the mind, with a little bit of funk, and a whole lotta swagger. Once again. Album number nine. Go and let it burn.
