Spoon - “Is Love Forever?”
What a great little song fragment, huh? It has a beginning and an awesome vamp toward the end, but the middle has been scooped out and thrown over Britt Daniel’s shoulder. Par for the course as far as Spoon is concerned, but I love how convincing they are about it. They never sound sheepish or mild-mannered or like they’re phoning it in, even as they willfully forgo a catchy chorus payoff or, heck, a second verse. And, as we see quite plainly from Daniel’s clipped exclamations, they continue to wear the seams of their studio constructions with pride.
