Spoon's new EP, Got Nuffin, came out just in time to spark some interest for the three days they've got booked at Stubb's this week. Oh yeah, they're only the last three Spoon shows of this decade...
I'd say that Got Nuffin reveals just enough to make me think that Britt Daniel and Jim Eno may have recovered some of the spunk they lost since before 2007's release of the (slightly) bloated Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga.
The EP's namesake (Got Nuffin) is all about the metronome-esque rhythm section and poppy melodies, much like the Spoon we all know and love. Daniel's voice still has that same arresting quality, though it seems as if he's reaching for it more this time around. Stroke Their Brains is a pretty cool track, too, but what really gets me is Tweakers.
Actually, it's a track you can overlook pretty easily. That is until you find the secret take that features Britt Daniel freestyling... it's true check it out (something about Godzilla?).
All this EP nonesense aside, I'd really like to secure me a ticket to go see Spoon with Black Joe Lewis and the Honey Bears on Thursday night...
