Spoon Return to greatness with their first album in four years!

Britt Daniel discussed the band's hiatus. "Between 2001 and 2010, we put out five records, which is not a lot by '60s standards. But in terms of today's standards, it's pretty fast," he said. "I mean, especially since concert promoters run the business now. And that's the way you make money, is doing shows, you know? So we just needed a break. And when we got back together, I felt that that break was a good thing. And we were all excited about playing again."

Daniel also said that the title track is inspired by "a guy who used to beat me up as I was walking home from middle school," who also inspired 2002's "Jonathan Fisk". He added, "It's a song about religious pretenders, manipulators, educated folksingers, people that bring me down." But, not to worry: He and his middle school bully ended up becoming friends later in life. "He became a big Spoon fan," Daniel said.
