I'll send a nasty text....

The 6th Spoon album, Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, sounds like Spoon: impeccable indie-pop with strong Motown bass lines (which make the album completely addictive at times). However, it doesn't have an edge, and though it might be Spoon's commercial breakthrough, it seems to be holding the band down. It is a great album because the details are sharp (a must listen is "Don't Make Me A Target" with its intro) and the lyrics are , as always, witty and bloody well written ("You've got to know what's on yr sleeves" says Britt Daniel on "You Got Yr Cherry Bomb", making this song the best moment of the album) .
You Got Yr Cherry Bomb


Another comeback comes from quirky Aussie group Architecture In Helsinki. Not much to say... it is weird, we are talking about AIH... it has great pop tunes... and it's a good listen...

A Wilhelm Scream are the kinda band I don't usually listen to a lot. They yell a lot and you need to look up the lyrics to actually understand what they are saying. But their experimental post-screamo-whatever is fairly good and I do believe they deserve a listen...

This has to be the cookie of the week... I've discovered Eight Legs while doing some research on Hedi Slimane, the former chief designer of Dior Homme. He played used their music for one of his runway shows. Eight Legs are young (19 and 20), but that is nothing new. New is the experience and nostalgia, sometimes bitterness their songs have. Eight Legs sound much older than their really are...

Erm... and this has to be the second cookie of the week... The Holloways are one of the many pop-punkish guitar rock bands out there... Erm,, actually, no. They mostly have fuuuuuun songs(the kinda songs that don't really make you... erm, think...), but "Reinvent Myself" is not one of those songs... It's immensely sad... "Why should I reinvent myself/When the world that I see/ It will not change for you and me?"
