Album Notes & Community Reviews

Spoon returned to form with 'They Want My Soul', an album that balances their signature minimalist rock with glossier production and new sonic textures. Britt Daniel's sharp songwriting is on full display, delivering hook-laden tracks that are both gritty and polished. From the driving rhythm of 'Rent I Pay' to the atmospheric 'Inside Out', it is a consistent and confident record from indie rock stalwarts.
