Spoon’s upcoming album, Transference, is scheduled to be released in January 2010. The single is called “Written In Reverse” and it was released on iTunes today. It’s slowly growing on me but I can’t say that it’s anything special. Based on what I’ve seen online about the song, it seems like their fans are more excited about the release of a new Spoon track than they are about the track itself, but it’s definitely worth checking out…

Based on your post, I was expecting to hate it. But, like you, I find it is nothing special yet it is somehow more interesting because of that. It grows on you. They are competent and I don’t think they are trying to pretend to be any more than that. The title is interesting and perhaps the lack of solos or attempts at any musical virtuosity; the fact that they do not stand out, makes them stand out. I see this as a black and white song in world of color, I like it. Thanks for posting it!
