"What should rock music sound like in 2014? The answer, to hear the band tell it: bright, brittle guitar lines, can opener percussion and an array of untraditional sounds and effects that serve as spice and garnish."
- TIME
"... Spoon breezes along on gusts of romantic pining, with a lighter touch to the instrumentation, the piano playful, the guitars jaunty and the vocals more laconically pop-centric in a way that feels like summer ..."
- MTV
"Meticulous is an adjective that seems to attach itself a great deal to Spoon and it applies here. They Want My Soul is a beautifully produced album. It takes a standard rock band lineup and adds a sense of otherness by lightly dusting every instrument with effects ... packed with beautiful, subtle detailing ..."
- The Guardian
After a four year break and various sideline projects, the members of Texas band Spoon reconvened in the studio to work on their 2014 release They Want My Soul. Recording with outside producers for the first time, the band started with Joe Chiccarelli (Alanis Morissette, My Morning Jacket, Morrissey) before finishing the album with Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips, Sparklehorse, MGMT). Spoon's frontman Britt Daniel credits Fridmann with giving the album its aesthetic although some of the work they did with Chiccarelli made it to the final release. This album also marks the debut of new guitarist and keyboard player Alex Fischel.
