For the 10th anniversary of Spoon's 8th full-length album, They Want My Soul, we take a detailed look at how it was made. After Spoon concluded their remarkable run of records in the early 2000s with 2010's Transference, they took a much needed break. During this time, Britt Daniel formed Divine Fits with Dan Boeckner, while Jim Eno produced records for other artists. When Spoon got back together, they added new member Alex Fischel on keyboards and opted to work with producers Joe Chiccarelli and Dave Fridmann for the first time. Having that time apart gave them a new perspective on the band as they worked to expand the sound, incorporating more keyboards, hip hop and electronic influences and unique production approaches. The result was They Want My Soul, eventually released in 2014. In this episode, Britt Daniel describes how he approached songwriting for this album and how he wanted to move away from the “minimalist” label that the band had been given previously. By demoing the songs in a variety of different ways, he describes how the songs evolved in the studio and how producers Joe Chiccarelli and Dave Fridmann helped shape them. Jim Eno talks about the sense of fun that the band had with this record and how they were enjoying trying new approaches, while recommitting to making good music together. Additionally, Alex Fischel describes first being asked to join Divine Fits and how that transitioned into a role in Spoon. With Fischel brought in to the band and with Fridmann's fingerprints all over the record, they describe how the sound of this album led to the next era of Spoon. From recording in two halves and switching producers midway to Dave Fridmann's mad scientist approach to mixing to the influence of Dr. Dre's 2001 album on “Inside Out” to the spontaneous last minute recordings of “Rent I Pay” and “I Just Don't Understand,” we'll hear the stories of how the record came together.

Joe and I groove out to Spoon - They Want My Soul. Joe laments his love of the new wave of "Dad Rock", but also how this record was there for him at just the right time. Somehow we dive deep into my love for Zach Braff and the movie Garden State.

Hey friend! Here's what the Big Dogs are barkin' about today: They Want My Soul Album Review - At the request of Big Dog Ethan, the duo listens to and reviews indie rock band Spoon's best album, They Want My Soul. As always, thank you so much for listening to this episode! If you have any suggestions for topics you'd like us to cover, or if you'd like to be a guest on the show, please let us know!

Want something similar to a blessin'? Come on over, here's Episode Eleven! Our friends join up yet again to face the daunting challenge...listening to music and trying craft beer. This week, Jesse joyfully sits through Make Your Mark by Living with Lions and sipping a 120 Minute IPA from Dogfish Head, while Stephen seemingly tolerates They Want My Soul by Spoon and sipping a Peanut Butter Jelly Time Ale from Catawba Brewing. This episode gets goofy, as a number of as-of-yet-to-exist sponsors "make their mark" on a series of funny commercials. This is a recipe for pure joy. Cheers!

Rob Esse shares his thoughts about Spoon, a band whose music he's been enjoying over the last few years. He first fell in love with their work upon hearing their 2014 album ‘They Want My Soul’. Now they have a new album being released for 2017 entitled ‘Hot Thoughts’ and he predicts it's going to be a further evolution of their unique sound.  

Veteran indie rockers Spoon return to Sound Opinions for a conversation and live performance of songs off their 8th studio album They Want My Soul.

We discuss Spoon's latest album, “They Want My Soul”

Raise your glasses and call a toast with today's musical homage to silverware! (The reference is Spoon.) Having established themselves as a staple of the Alt Rock community, Spoon has released their eighth studio album, They Want My Soul, which we take on for this week's review. As Alternative Rock often harbors some of the most diverse artists, we then take some time to discuss Alt as both a name and a movement. Is the genre merely an aggregate of misfits branded under a careless label, or has it in fact grown a definitive character of its own? Continue reading

Ep. 107 - Rob Pope and Eric Harvey from Spoon are this week's podcast guests.  They sit down with Zach and guest co-host Jeff Miller (from Thrillist LA) at our Bronson Island studio to talk food.  We hear all about the two bars that Rob owns: The Bourgeois Pig in Lawrence Kansas and Lake Street in Brooklyn, NY. And Eric teaches us the late night joys of garbage plates.  They both tout their favorite places to eat in New York, Austin and elsewhere, and Zach brings the guys the best breakfast burritos L.A. has to offer, from a place called Cofax (mostly to make Britt jealous.)  Spoon's new album "They Want My Soul" is out now.  Get more info at www.spoontheband.com
