Gimme Fiction

Description

2005’sGimme Fictiondragged the sonic pointillism ofKill the Moonlightfurther into dub-influenced weirdness as the increasingly confidentSpoonwent crazy in the studio, experimenting with everything from warped hip-hop samples to horse whinnies. How all this directionless Dylan worship and psychedelic goofing resulted in an album as sharply realized asGimme Fictionis a testament solely toSpoon’sself-assurance and tastefulness. Whatever digging or strange alchemy had to go into it, they only produced more gold. Gimme Fiction deserves special recognition because it’s the album whereSpoon backed into a corner took some crazy leaps, all of them forward. It’s a “departure point” for a band that, lucky for us, has never made a real departure. Featuring the hit single “I Turn My Camera On,” as well as other tracks included on the recent greatest hitsEverything Hits At Once: The Best of Spoon, this newvinyl LPreissue is included in an ongoing campaign highlightingSpoon’sexpansive catalog.
