Last month, Spoon unleashed Lucifer on the Sofa (Matador), “their best record ever” (Rolling Stone). Earning rave reviews and global acclaim, the new album marks an important sea-change for the group that The Guardian called “one of the finest bands of their generation”
Now, Spoon unveils the Wild EP which features three alternate versions of the LP’s ‘Wild‘ including the Jack Antonoff produced “Jack Wild” and remix from dub icon Dennis Bovell
‘Wild’ is a celebratory and anthemic song about finding one’s way from cashed out depths back into a vivid world full of color and life. Like earlier single ‘The Hardest Cut, ‘t is a hit at AAA radio, reaching the Top 15. Watch the video here.
Critics are praising Lucifer On The Sofa and “The Hardest Cut” hit #1 at AAA Radio – watch Spoon play the single on Jimmy Kimmel Live! here.
