Spoon announce details for third album
22 November 2000

Austin, Texas noise pop trio Spoon return with their first LP in four years next February, to be released on their new label Merge Records. Titled Girls Can Tell and largely self-produced, the eleven tracks are Everything Hits At Once, Believing In Art, Me And The Bean, Lines In The Suit, The Fitted Shirt, Anything You Want, Take A Walk, 10:20 am, Take The Fifth, This Book Is A Movie, and Chicago At Night.
Rockbites has learned that Girls Can Tell—performed by founders Britt Daniel (vocals, guitar) and Jim Eno (drums) along with bassist Josh Zarbo—will also be released for Europe through Matador Records spinoff 12XU, headed up by Gerard Cosloy. It will likely be that label’s first full length, and opens the possibility for a European Spoon tour sometime in 2001. The band’s tentative US touring plans include two weeks on each coast around the time of the album release.
Spoon’s Love Ways EP came out on Merge last month. Recorded over the same timespan as the album, it gives a taste of what’s to come. Merge has posted a free full length MP3 (MPEG I, layer 3) music file of the EP track I Didn’t Come Here To Die. | Spoon on Merge | | Spoon on Peek-A-Boo | | Fan site | | I didn't Come Here To Die (full length MP3) | | discography | | sample from Telephono (1996) | | CD | | top of page |
