Telephono features 14 frenetic, frenzied alternative rock songs heavily indebted to the quiet-loud-quiet dynamic the Pixies grafted into the sub-genre’s DNA a few years prior.

It’s also the only Spoon record where Daniel ever uses the word “fuck” as a lyric. This may seem like a trivial detail, but it stresses the jagged aggression Spoon tried so hard to pack in these songs. While the band are no strangers to strangling guitars into chaos, the grunge fury of “Claws Tracking” and “Not Turning Off” sound uncharacteristic and trite. Like Radiohead’s Pablo Honey, Telephono is a window into an alternate timeline where Spoon was simply drowned out by its influences, never finding its signature, hip swinging style. Transference is, by no means, the late-career letdown some fans paint it as. Released after Spoon’s chart flirting Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, it’s a weirder record that updates the muted tones of Girls Can Tell with a decade’s worth of experience in studio trickery and tighter playing.

It also cracked the Billboard 200’s top 10, the band’s highest position at the time, by selling 53,000 copies in its first week. Rather than use a traditional producer, the band recorded much of Transference on its own, wishing to make, in Daniel’s words, an “uglier” record.

Spoon also does post-punk honest with the flattening “Got Nuffin” and teeth-gnashing “Written In Reverse.”Īfter the near fatal album rollout behind A Series of Sneaks, Spoon released a shade-throwing single, the stellar Love Ways EP and, most importantly, the record that laid the groundwork for the band’s slow and steady rise to indie rock icons. Inspired by ‘60s R&B and Something Else-era Kinks, the immediate differences between Girls Can Tell and the band’s prior releases are apparent from opener “Everything Hits At Once.”Įno rolls into a steady beat as Daniel’s wounded, weary voice comes to terms with a freshly dissolved relationship. In the chorus, husky piano casts a dark pallor over the stinging guitar, a sonic combination the band would revisit time and time again. It’s a devastating track made all the more effective by the band eschewing its earlier alt-rock tendencies to create something much more emotive and personal. While Girls Can Tell is no doubt a thrilling document on how Spoon became Spoon, these 11 tunes are some of the band’s most chilled and detached. “Believing Is Art” recalls the tense build-ups of Telephono, but trades all-out ferocity for icy restraint.
