After close to a decade of consistency in the indie-rock scene, Spoon’s latest album GaGaGaGaGa captures their minimal guitar and piano identity while expanding their style and adding new elements to their already successful tone. This album, released in 2007, was recorded throughout the year of 06' in their hometown of Austin, Tx.
Song’s like “Don’t Make me a Target”, and “Don’t You Evah” capture the plugged in strumming guitar melodies and thoughtful lyrics typical of their previous work. The addition of a horn section fits perfectly into this album, adding to songs like “The Underdog”, a shift to an upbeat acoustic sound that immediately stands out as one of the albums top tracks.
Spoon’s past albums fell short lyrically by getting stuck in negative themes and dark undertones. GaGaGaGaGa however, escapes that with catchy pop songs like “The Underdog” and “You’ve Got Your Cherry Bomb” that successfully combines an energetic tone with positive lyrics. Britt Daniel’s reflective song writing is braided perfectly with the upbeat music and added production on this album to create their best work to date.
