A new Spoon album is usually cause for celebration and as expected ‘Transference‘ made its way onto a few Cougar writers’ lists. Kenny justified its inclusion by saying:
Spoon have rightly won themselves a reputation for bashing out great pop albums. But ‘Transference’ has a freshness that sets it apart from its predecessors. The self-produced album is the 8th from the Texans and their once polished sound has given way to a lo-fi approach. It works.
The piano driven ‘Written in Reverse’ and straight-up-rock-song ‘Trouble Comes Running’ are personal favourites. But with an album so consistently strong it would be wrong to reference ‘stand-out’ tracks. ‘Transference’ is the most imaginative and mature album the band have released to date. Unlike other ‘mature’ albums it’ll still get you up on the dance-floor. It’s a cracker.
