Spoon: is back in the groove
"When we finished that last tour in November of 2011 — it was at some festival in Germany — we kind of just said, 'Well, that's the last show for awhile, and who knows what's going to happen,'" Daniel told Entertainment Weekly. "And we were all a little ground down at that point. It had just been too long that we were touring that record. So we went our separate ways without really saying anything."
After a few months of "getting a girlfriend" and lying low, Daniel decided to found the Divine Fits with Dan Boeckner. That project kept him going until Spoon were ready to record again last winter.
Now, they have — another — critically acclaimed album and appear to be back in the flow of things.
"I really feel like you can hear that variety on the record, and I feel like it ended up being a good thing," Daniel said. "The second batch [of] songs are a bit wilder. I think they're kind of wilder songs, to begin with, but the recordings of them are a little more out there, and I think that the record needed that."
