Following the release of their wonderful 2014 album, They Want My Soul, Spoon has debuted a new song. Titled "Satellite," the track was performed during a recent tour stop in Houston, Texas. More accurately, they debuted the track during a Dec. 16 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but it wasn't captured for our listening pleasure until their Houston gig, as the fan who posted to video points out.
"Satellite" is in a similar vein to the sound of their latest album and could've been left on the cutting room floor.
"When you're feeling lonely, I'm your satellite," Britt Daniel sings on the chorus. "I know I love you more."
Spoon wrapped up its U.S. tour on New Year's Eve in Dallas and will embark on an four-show Australian jaunt in February. It is unclear whether the band has more tour dates planned for the future or whether they'll be headed back into the studio. Spoon fans are surely hoping that the next album comes sooner than the four year gap that led up to the release of They Want My Soul following 2010's Transference.
As Rolling Stone points out, it's also possible that "Satellite" isn't a Spoon song but rather a new Divine Fits track, as that is Daniel's and keyboardist Alex Fischel's side project. Drummer Jim Eno told Billboard in September that a Divine Fits record might get in the way of starting another Spoon record at this time.
"It's hard to say," Eno told them. "I'm sure Britt and Alex will do another Divine Fits record. If that happens, we're probably not going to do another Spoon record for two years, but we'll see how it goes. We never have any songs when we go in, usually, but there are a few things I feel we would bring back to the table next time. There's some I would say are 50 percent there, so it's nice to have that in our pocket."
