Established with nine studio albums under their belt, Spoon continues to mesmerize critics and capture the ears of new listeners everywhere.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The Austin, Texas based band was founded in 1993 by lead singer and guitarist Britt Daniel and drummer Jim Eno after the two met in Daniel\u2019s former band, The Alien Beats. Spoon would experience a rough patch in the beginning of their career. They were dropped by the record label Elektra Records a mere four months after the release of their second album, <em>A Series of Sneaks,<\/em> did not sell as hoped.<\/p>\n<p>Spoon realized commercial success in 2001 after releasing their third album, <em>Girls Can Tell,<\/em> through Indie rock label Merge Records. The band gained increasing recognition as they pressed on, with their fifth album <em>Gimme Fiction<\/em> and each following one making it onto the Billboard 200. Several of their songs have been featured in a variety of television shows and films, the most notable being their hit, \u201cThe Underdog\u201d off of the album <em>Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Spoon - The Underdog\" width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7v0KCoPMTdU?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Their musical style has been pegged as Indie rock, Indie pop, pop-rock, experimental rock, and even psychedelic at times. This paired with Daniel\u2019s offbeat and catchy lyrics, makes for a unique experience. For Spoon\u2019s newest album, Daniel and the rest of the members abandoned guitar-led songs in favor of the keyboard for more of an electronica vibe. The final product, <em>Hot Thoughts,<\/em> is packed full of standout tracks to dance to and moody instrumentals to get lost in.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Spoon - Hot Thoughts\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/D6KFBFg5q1Y?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Spoon has been on a worldwide tour since the release of <a href=\"http:\/\/smarturl.it\/Hot_thoughts_LP?IQid=Website\">Hot Thoughts<\/a> in March of 2017, making the Wildflower!
