Spoon

A band of devout audiophiles, the album was recorded throughout 2006 in Austin by the band and Mike McCarthy (except "The Underdog," recorded in Los Angeles with Jon Brion) and results in a soundscape that is more a grainy, saturated Polaroid of the Beatles sound, than a polished, but artistically diminished, reproduction. The result is a modern sound engineering take on the vibe bands have been chasing for 35 years...Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga does not break new ground, but that can sometimes be a good thing when the original plot yields so much fruit. If it was good enough for Paul McCartney, Dave Davies, and Paul Weller to till, it's good enough for Britt Daniels"¦and you - Glorious Noise
