The New Yorker Reviews Spoon's Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga

Spoon The Spoon press blitz continues with an article in this week's New Yorker—who call Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga Spoon's "best yet."
“Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga” builds on work that began on the band’s third album, “Girls Can Tell,” which was released in 2001. In simple terms, this is what happened: a piano.

Following the Shins, Arcade Fire and Modest Mouse, will the build-up propel the album to the top charts in the second week of July? Isn't this kind of perfect pop something indie-rockers and frat boys can all agree on? Will Gore run in '08?

My Magic 8-Ball says, "Signs point to yes." Sweet!

In other Spoon news, a new song has been added to the Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga album stream: the awesome fifth track, "Rhthm & Soul."
