Spoon - Lucifer on the Sofa LP / CD

Spoon’s tenth album, Lucifer on the Sofa, is alive, vital and inarguably the band’s heaviest work to date. It’s a rock ’n roll record. Texas-made. The first set of songs that the quintet has put to tape in its hometown, Austin, in more than a decade. Written and recorded over the last two years – both in and out of shutdown – these songs feel like a culmina-tion of Spoon’s career while marking a shift toward something louder, wilder, and more vivid. From the detuned guitars anchoring “The Hardest Cut” to the sax-laden surreal-ism of the introspective title track, Lucifer on the Sofa bottles the physical thrill of a band tearing up a packed room.
