New Spoon! “The Mystery Zone” is another taste of Spoon’s forthcoming album, Transference. Indie superstar and Spoon ringleader, Britt Daniel, has announced that Transference is a “pure” Spoon album, being the first album the band self produced.
“The Mystery Zone” will be third track found on the hotly anticipated LP. “Got Nuffin’,” the lead track off the band’s last release, the Got Nuffin’ EP, will also appear on Transference (track 10).
Using “The Mystery Zone” and “Got Nuffin’” as judging points, the likelihood of Transference besting Spoon’s last three LPs is quickly diminishing. But Spoon is known for throwing us curve balls, and with numerous modern classics under their wings, who am I to doubt them?
Transference will be out January 26th via Merge. Another January release to put on your calendar. Listen to “The Mystery Zone” here:

holy crap, new Spoon. This automatically makes my day.
But Spoon is known for throwing us curve balls, and with numerous modern classics under their wings, who am I to doubt them?
YOU ARE NO ONE TO DOUBT THEM! lol. Spoon > 95% of the “omg i’m sooo indie” bands out there.
YES.
Spoon are one of the best bands in recent memory. Each one of their releases is a testament to this. I’m quite optimistic for their new album. “The Mystery Zone” and “Got Nuffin’” are pretty chill, laid back Spoon. A quality that was lacking on Ga Ga… this new material is more “Gimme Fiction”. And that’s definitely not a bad thing.
i can get down to Spoon sometimes, but this plain jane boring.
Very solid, nothing shocking. Spoon is always very solid.
Wow .. this was very uninteresting/exciting for Spoon. Not that they’re always both of those, but still. I was hoping for more ..
Have Spoon lost it? Where is the hook?
This isn’t the first single or anything.. it’s just a leak. A leak that the band obviously doesn’t want out – the Web Sheriff has been has been killing every link out there.
It even sounds unmastered. So, I say everyone should just wait for the official first single — or next single, if you count Got Nuffin as a single.
No longer available… Cr*p!
