Spoon just realeased a new single from their upcoming album “Transference” which will be coming out in January 2010 called “Written In Reverse”. The song is somewhat a return to form for the band as it’s saturated in familiar piano sounds, drum groove and grimy guitar riffs that feel just as random and haphazard as always. Brit Daniels’ undeniably cool voice has a charm to it in this song as he goes from singing assuredly to yelping unexpectedly. The song sounds as if the band is mixing the old reliables with an even more obvious swagger that hangs over the track like a hot and sexy party. This is a good song that has skyrocketed my expectations for this album.

I’ve been working on a spolight section about bands that are releasing albums in 2010, and so far BRMC and Spoon are part of it among a few others, but as everything seems to be coming so quick, I might break up the original post I was doing and scatter it as the information comes. You’ll find the link to listen to the single on NPR after the image:
