Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga and one more Ga
September 10, 2007 |
Spoon has eluded me for a few years. I had heard bits and pieces of their work over the last few years but none grabbed my ear as their latest release Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. Rolling through a history lesson of rock Spoon sounds like a lot of bands while still sounding only like Spoon.
There are a number of tracks that stand out on Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga - namely the single The Underdog. This song sounds as if its right out of the North East circa 1976. It could be a long lost Steely Dan song with the style that vocalist and songwriter Britt Daniel has thrown onto this baby. Britt may just be the best sounding vocalist of any contemporary rock band. His range and style are classic in their comfort.
I am enjoying this album immensely and each track seems to have a life of its own. While certainly not a concept album (the songs don’t necessarily flow) Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga (pronounced Click Click Click Click Click ) ummm…. the tracks do ring with originality and musicianship worth of praise. This could turn out to be the type of album that makes a career. I hope so these guys have worked hard to stay afloat long enough to win some back.
