A top-to-bottom rework of the Austin band’s tenth album, it was created by On-U Sound founder and UK dub icon, Adrian Sherwood. \u003cbr\u003e ‘Lucifer On The Moon’ first took shape as a few heady remixes for the singles from ‘Lucifer On The Sofa’. Frontman Britt Daniel offered Sherwood two suggestions: “Avoid things that would not be possible on tape,” and “Add whatever you want to add, the less modern the better.” The collaboration shouldn't come as a surprise: dub-inspired production is wound through Spoon’s classic tracks, from ‘Finer Feelings’ to ‘Inside Out’. Sherwood is a proven collaborator whose resume includes partnerships with seminal artists like The Fall, Jah Wobble, and Mark Stewart. \u003cbr\u003e The initial results pleased both parties and Sherwood was invited to work on additional songs. And then a few more. “I got into the melody and the thoughts it evoked in me,” the producer explains. “It just evolved and we eventually found ourselves with a whole album.” \u003cbr\u003e ‘Lucifer On The Moon’ flips ‘Lucifer On The Sofa’’s rhythm tracks inside-out, and often rebuilds them wholesale. Sherwood supplied extensive additional instrumentation via On-U’s extended family of session players, including bassist Doug Wimbish and drummer Keith LeBlanc (both of whom performed in Sugarhill Records’ early 80s in-house rhythm section). He dug deep into the album’s multi-tracks, surfacing forgotten details and elements not present in the final album mixes. \u003cbr\u003e The result airlifts Spoon’s trademark melodies into lush alien terrain, replete with vibrant echo and rumbling low-end. “It wasn’t just a thing where you pick apart this and that and you stay on the grid and you add a delay,” explains Daniel. “He added so much more instrumentation to the tracks that they\u003cbr\u003ebecame completely different versions of the songs. Not just remixes, but companion pieces. A ‘Part II’.” \u003cbr\u003e Released in February, ‘Lucifer On The Sofa’ is Spoon’s purest rock ‘n’ roll record to date. Texas-made, it is the first set of songs that the quintet has put to tape in their hometown of Austin in more than a decade. Written and recorded over the last two years - both in and out of lockdown - the songs mark a shift toward something louder, wilder, and more full-colour. “It’s the best thing they’ve ever done,” wrote Rolling Stone. “More than exceeding their usual quotient of fire guitars, killer choruses, and crafty rock-history updates.” \u003cbr\u003e The band have hit the road hard this year and recently wrapped a coast-to-coast co-headline US tour with Interpol. NJ.com called Spoon’s Asbury Park performance a “70-minute foil of raw emotion and bounding humanity.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting\u003cbr\u003eMy Babe\u003cbr\u003eOn the Radio\u003cbr\u003eHeld\u003cbr\u003eThe Devile \u0026amp; Mister Jones\u003cbr\u003eLucifer on the Sofa\u003cbr\u003eAstral Jacket\u003cbr\u003eFeels Alright\u003cbr\u003eWild\u003cbr\u003eThe Hardest Cut\u003cbr\u003eSatellite\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Matador","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42071797891228,"sku":"OLE1876LP","price":27.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/2_d61f1a10-b5a3-4828-af89-87fa114911f3.jpg?v=1665497167","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/spoon-lucifer-on-the-moon-lp","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
