Former Matador Recording artists Spoon signed to Anti Records via Epitaph for the European release of their eagerly anticipated new album ‘Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga’. Both Zac and James here at Division jumped at the chance to work with this classic band, having been fans themselves since the band’s debut release ‘Telephono’ back in 1996.
With a history of stellar records, Spoon has topped themselves with ‘Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga’, a thrilling album recorded throughout 2006 in Austin by the band and Mike McCarthy (…And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead) and Jon Brion (Kanye West, Fiona Apple, Aimee Mann). The Britt Daniel originals on ‘Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga’ comprise possibly his most heartfelt batch of songs since 2001’s ‘Girls Can Tell’. And the UK press agreed with broadsheets and daily papers such as The Sun, The Guardian, The Mail On Sunday and The Express heaping praise upon the band, alongside the usual accolades from the music press.
