Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
This is a great, understated album that merits repeated plays. Spoon have made a literate, rocking, breakthrough record that occupies a funny place--the songs are not unconventional, per se, yet they're somehow really special. Girls Can Tell displays the emotional resonance and big rock power of, say, Thin Lizzy and Mott The Hoople; the sonically referential, indie-rock smarts of a band like Versus; and amazing hooks that recall Colin Blunstone of the Zombies. Like the Lilys, this Austin, TX trio has chosen to work on perfecting their craft without paying much heed to mainstream or trends. In spite of (but mostly because of) wrenching break-up-centered lyrical material delivered in a very real, matter-of-fact way, Girls Can Tell is one of those life-affirming pop albums you'll return to in years to come. --Mike McGonigal
CD Description
GIRLS CAN TELL is the second release in two years from Texas-based Spoon, and they're on a roll. It follows the EP LOVEWAYS, and it's more mesmerisingly cerebral pop. Spoon are unafraid of pushing the envelope. The set opens with one of their best songs, "Everything Hits at Once". Its bleakly resonant lyrics dart in and out of the alluringly minor key musical structure. Elsewhere, keyboards embellish the arrangements with smart bits of filigree--"Me and the Bean" is full ofwonderfully simple choices.
Throughout, the rhythmic core of guitar, bass, and drums lock together like a delirious machine. This is a band with a seven-year history, and a commitment to their vision that in the late '90s allowed them to survive being briefly signed by a major label (resulting in the superb but overlooked A SERIES OF SNEAKS), and then being dropped by the same.
