Praise For ‘Hot Thoughts’

‘They have nothing to prove, but you wouldn’t know that from the 10 songs here: Hot Thoughts is loaded with tunes, invention and adventure’ – The Guardian 5*

‘Hot Thoughts finds Spoon at the peak of their considerable powers, their ninth album effortlessly unfolding and revealing its mysteries as they cement their place in the firmament of undeniably great rock bands.’ – Uncut 8/10

 ‘Even at their most traditional, the Austin band subvert expectations.’ – Sunday Times Culture

‘Spoon are a band who are impossible to second-guess, and one deserving of much more attention.’ –  Q 4*

‘Spoon offer a pretty good portrait of the indie band in middle age; more accomplished and less earnest than in youth but still with the invention, quirkiness and rebelliousness that made students relate to them in the first place.’ – The Times 4*

Austin’s most esteemed rock ambassadors, Spoon, today unleash the band’s first new song since 2017’s acclaimed Hot Thoughts.  “No Bullets Spent” showcases Spoon in full creative forward momentum, with its staccato rhythms and spooky film-noir guitar.  The inimitable vocals of magnetic frontman Britt Daniel kicking off at the first note, Spoon’s signature is stamped on the track immediately while another level is achieved in Daniels’ seemingly infinite hot streak as a songwriter.  Blending with the percussion wizardry of Spoon co-founder Jim Eno, the song is propelled from the doors of his own Public Hi Fi studio in Austin, TX and is produced by Mark Rankin.  Alex Fischel (keyboard) and Gerardo Larios (guitar) add their own dimension to the band whose recent recording sessions point to, perhaps, a forthcoming new album.

Listen to ‘No Bullets Spent’ HERE

“No Bullets Spent” joins classics from the Spoon catalog on Everything Hits at Once: The Best of Spoon, the greatest hits compilation coming out July 26th on Matador Records.

“No Bullets Spent” will also be available as a limited edition 7”, with the A Series of Sneaks era rarity “Shake It Off” on the B-side.  Limited to a small pressing worldwide, the 7” will be sold exclusively via the Matador and Spoon webstores and on tour with the band this summer.  The album’s tracklist (complaints about what songs are missing can be directed to the Twitter ether) and Spoon’s full list of summer tour dates can be found below the physical and digital artwork, and the Rob Sheffield-penned bio.

How many rock bands from the past 25 years could get away with a greatest-hits album? Spoon stand alone, with a career-spanning retrospective culled from all over their unique songbook. It’s a flawless compilation of their best-known, best-loved tunes, yet it’s still full of surprises—the only thing you could expect from a band that’s spent their whole career taking people by surprise.

“The idea of doing a best-of came to us a couple times,” Britt Daniel says. “First I wasn’t sure how I felt about it but at some point I remembered that when I got my first Cure record it was Standing on a Beach. When I got my first New Order record, it was Substance. That was how I met those bands, and I moved backwards from there but I still listen to those comps. I love a greatest hits LP when it’s done well. It can be a thing unto itself.”

If you were the betting type in 1996, and you were taking odds on which bands would still be on top of their game in 2019—still thriving, creating, evolving, sitting on top of a catalog so rich it could produce a compilation like this—it’s safe to say you could have bought a house betting a quarter on Spoon. They did not seem the likeliest band to make history. Yet they’ve achieved this by refusing to concede a thing to fashion, refusing to pander, declining to repeat themselves, resisting the impulse to play it safe. When they dropped Kill the Moonlight in 2002, it already seemed bizarre this underdog band had turned out to be so freakishly prolific and creative. But Spoon were just getting started. They have kept going their own way, moving past their original blueprint and building something new one album at a time.

When you hear Spoon has a greatest-hits record, you instantly think of your pet favorites. Every fan would assemble a totally different lineup—that’s the beauty of it. They’ve built the kind of ridiculously vast catalog where people love to argue for hours over their favorite highlights. Are you a Girls Can Tell diehard or a Transference cultist? Do you prefer Gimme Fiction or Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga? Hot Thoughts? They Want My Soul?

Certain artists like Al Green, Blondie or Creedence spend years making individual albums that stand up as fully realized works of art—but they spawn a perfect greatest-hits record that makes its own statement. That’s the classic level Spoon are on here. So how did this complex and diverse string of albums boil down to one disc? “Honestly, it was a struggle,” Daniel says. “I was listening to the old records and jotting down the songs—if you wanna turn the volume up, that’s a good sign. The list really got whittled down, so these are the best. ‘I Summon You’ was never a huge song, wasn’t for the radio, but it had to be on there. It’s one of the best things we’ve done. I wanted to represent Transference, even though it’s not really a ‘hit’ type of album—‘Got Nuffin’ was the closest thing. It did get to a point where I started feeling like, ‘We gotta represent this album in some way, we’ve gotta represent this change in some way.’ ‘Everything Hits at Once’ was a turning point for us—a minimal new wave soul type of rock song.’”

That’s part of what makes this a classic greatest-hits album—we will keep arguing over the selections for years to come. “It’s a small collection trying to cover a lot of years, but I hope it does what The Singles record by the Pretenders or Hot Rocks did for me—cover a lot of ground and then if you want to find out more, you can find out more.” It’s a conversation starter, like any great group’s best-of should be.  But it’s also a map to the work of a band that’s still full of surprises—and more yet to come.

Off the back of scoring his first ever Number 1 album, as well as recent blistering arena performances, Jack Savoretti spends no time resting on his laurels and returns with ‘Youth and Love’, this time reimagined, with a guest appearance from international music star Mika.

Produced by Cam Blackwood, with Mika’s vocals recorded at his home studio in Florence, the track is an infectious 80’s-inspired disco track that features two stunning, contrasting vocalists producing melodies that won’t leave your consciousness. It received a worldwide exclusive play from Zoe Ball on her BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show.

Talking of the collaboration, Jack comments; “I have always admired the elegance and theatre of performers like Jacques Brel and Charles Aznavour. I think Mika has what they had, and I am honoured to have him performing on this track.”

Speaking further on the two’s partnership on the track, Mika says; “I’m delighted to be dueting with Jack on his song. I first heard his voice on the radio a few years ago. He is soulful and the texture of his voice is such a contrast to mine that it works. Added to that, he is a total gent. It’s not often that you get to collaborate with such a charming class act like him.”

After well and truly holding his own on Sky Sports’ Soccer AM earlier this year, Jack made a welcome appearance at this year’s Soccer Aid last weekend, coming on at Stamford Bridge in the second half for Piers Morgan’s victorious World XI team. He played alongside footballing legends and celebrities alike, including Usain Bolt, Niall Horan, Roberto Carlos, Eric Cantona, Didier Drogba and many more.

His latest album ‘Singing To Strangers’, his first UK Number 1, is Jack’s sixth LP, shifting just over 32,000 sales in the first week, his highest opening sales yet, and is well on its way to becoming his third Gold-certified album. Produced by Cam Blackwood (George Ezra), the BBC Radio 2 ‘Album Of The Week’ follows Jack’s last two gold discs ‘Written in Scars’ (2014) and ‘Sleep No More’ (2016).

After blowing the roof off a packed Wembley Arena, Jack just two weeks later sold 10,000 tickets for his Westonbirt Arboretum show in Gloucestershire, a move that further cements his place as one of the country’s live favourites. He will play a string of UK festivals this summer as well as a 12 date headline tour this November. For more info visit https://jacksavoretti.com/:

Jack Savoretti can now add Soccer Aid winner & culinary expert to his name. Coming on at Stamford Bridge for Piers Morgan’s World XI team, playing alongside footballing legends and celebs alike including Usain Bolt, Niall Horan, Roberto Carlos, Didier Drogba and many more, they emerged victorious in the UNICEF charity match. He also put his food expertise to the test on BBC One’s Saturday Kitchen, and flew off the next day to the US to join our very own Dido for a host of support shows.
 
From football & food, to heavy metal! The giants that are Metallica bring their stadium show to the Etihad tonight and Twickenham on Thursday. There’s also the small matter of the Kerrang! Awards on Wednesday.

Last week was a big one for Madonna with the arrival of her new album ‘Madame X’. As well as receiving rave reviews, she treated fans to a special Q&A hosted by Graham Norton at London’s Alexandra Palace Theatre where she took a slew of questions from fans from all around the world. We can’t wait for her 15 night run at London’s Palladium early 2020.

Congratulations to Neil Hannon who’s magnificent new Divine Comedy album ‘Office Politics’ charted at Number 5 – his highest ever position!

Talking of chart positions, Lewis Capaldi‘s reign at the top continues yet again! ‘Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent’ has now reached a full month at Number 1, has been certified Gold & and is the fastest selling album of 2019 so far.

LION (aka Beth Lowen) kicks off a double whammy of shows with Band Of Horses this week, which will see performances at the Oxford Academy on Thursday, and London’s HMV Forum on Friday. These are not to be missed!

The Isle Of Wight played host to a string of MBC artists at the weekend, with much talked about sets taking place from Keane, Tom Walker, Rick Astley, Miles Kane, Picture This & Ward Thomas.

We are sad to announce the cancellation of Cage the Elephant‘s 3 UK shows, as well as their IOW performance due to guitarist Nick Bockrath hurting himself on stage. We wish Nick a very speedy recovery.

We’re creeping ever closer to the release of Mark Ronson’s acclaimed new album ‘Late Night Feelings’ – out on Friday. He’ll be paying a visit to the Scala on June 25th. Expect a host of exciting guests!

Following a mesmerizing show at London’s Union Chapel in April, Ryan Bingham returns to the UK for a short run of headline shows, including The Garage in London on June 21st and a slot at the coveted Black Deer Festival.

 Miles Kane released a delicious teaser of new music ahead of a jam packed summer of festival dates. ‘Can You See Me Now’ (listen here) is a subtle nod towards new music that is expected to come later this year.

It’s also an exciting time for Ida Mae as they gear up for the release of their debut album ‘Chasing Lights’ – out July 12th. The blues-folk duo will kick off celebrations the night before with a special, intimate show downstairs at The Kings Head.

Following the release of his acclaimed top 10 album ‘Coup De Grace’ and a massive sell-out UK tour last year, amidst playing a string of UK and European festivals this summer, Miles Kane today releases his latest single, ‘Can You See Me Now’ via AWAL.

With an infectiously fuzzy guitar riff, Beatles-esque harmonies and Miles’ signature sassy vocals, ‘Can You See Me Now’ is an immediate indie-rock smash. The video, directed by James Kelly (who also directed Miles’ video for ‘LA Five Four (309)’), was shot whilst Miles was on tour in France and Italy in May and sees Miles swaggering in his comfort zone, on the stage. Speaking of the track Miles said, “This is a song about reaching a point in your life when you feel comfortable in yourself and you’re not afraid to shout about it.”

After a huge headline date at Glasgow’s SWG3, Miles and his band play a host of shows and festivals this summer including slots at Isle of Wight Festival, Rock Werchter, Tramlines, Neighbourhood Festival, Y Not Festival, Kendal Calling and headlining Skeleton Coast Festival, as well as supporting Paul Weller at Cardiff Castle.

Miles Plays the following dates –

After months of speculation, Keane, one of Britain’s most beloved bands are back with a brand new album out September 20th on Island Records and featuring the powerful first single ‘The Way I Feel’. Watch the video HERE.

Written by Keane and produced by David Kosten and the band themselves, ‘Cause and Effect’ features 11 new songs recorded in London and Sussex.

Keane have also announced a major UK tour this autumn including two nights at London’s prestigious Royal Albert Hall. The band will play a series of festivals this summer including BST in Hyde Park on July 14th.

‘Cause and Effect’ is Keane’s 5th studio album. Their 4 previous albums have all entered the UK charts at number 1 and accumulated sales of over 13m worldwide and 2.6 billion streams.

The birth of this new album came as something of a surprise even to the band. Singer Tom Chaplin had released two successful solo albums but missed his old sparring partner Tim Rice-Oxley. “I found myself wondering how I had come to let this very enigmatic and important relationship in my life drift,” Tom says.

Meanwhile Tim found his life falling apart and from the ashes had written an album’s worth of incredibly personal songs fuelled by humour as well as pain. When Tom, bassist Jesse Quin and drummer Richard Hughes heard the songs, they were immediately drawn to them both sonically and lyrically.

“Hopes and Fears was a break-up album too, but it was about a break-up when I was 19,” Tim explains. “It’s a bit different when you’re older and you’ve got kids – your whole little world shifts on its axis.”

Tickets for Keane’s tour go on sale on Friday 14th June
They play the following dates:

September
Tues 24th BIRMINGHAM, Symphony Hall
Wed 25th LEICESTER, De Montfort Hall
Thu 26th MANCHESTER, Apollo
Sat 28th LONDON, Royal Albert Hall
Sun 29th LONDON, Royal Albert Hall

Wed 2nd EDINBURGH, Usher Hall
Fri 4th NOTTINGHAM, Royal Concert Hall
Sat 5th BRIGHTON, Brighton Centre
Mon 7th BELFAST, Waterfront
Tues 8th  DUBLIN, Olympia

The video for ‘The Way I Feel’ was directed by Kevin Godley, who previously directed the video for the band’s hit single ‘Is It Any Wonder’ and Tom’s solo release ‘Still Waiting’.

‘The Way I Feel’, like the other ten tracks on ‘Cause and Effect’, is an emotional and remarkable slice of life, and reminiscent of the very best of Keane. It’s an exciting period for one of the country’s best bands and a very welcome return.

As Tim Rice-Oxley says, “We’re not some heritage act. We’ve got a lot of great music in us.” ‘Cause and Effect’ is just that.

One of the UK’s finest rising bands, The Snuts, today release their explosive new single ‘All Your Friends’ on Parlophone Records. Choosing to work with Inflo (Karen O / Danger Mouse, Michael Kiwanuka, Little Simz) the track throws the rulebook out the window creating a fresh, yet authentic first taste of the West Lothian quartet’s debut album, which the band are currently recording.

Driven by a huge slice of rock ‘n roll swagger, fused with a vintage hip-hop backbeat, ‘All Your Friends’ possesses an irresistibly catchy raw edge and a massive chorus. The video, directed by Ronan Corrigan and Hope Kemp, has both the humour and charm of long gone classics as the band are literally caught up in a shopping channel TV advert fuelled by their much loved Buckfast.

Watch the video for ‘All Your Friends’HERE

Speaking of the track Jack Cochrane explains “Reflected in the lyrics and the artwork ‘All Your Friends’ is new twist on a familiar social stigma around the drug epidemic that nobody seems to want to talk about”. He continues “keeping in tune with the passionate tones of The Snuts this is a rawer, more direct addition to the catalogue.”

Already garnering a massive following in Scotland and across the UK and with support from the likes of BBC 6 Music, Radio 1, Clash and Dork Magazine, The Snuts are set for a massive 2019 with new music, touring and a fine selection of festivals.

The Snuts, famed for their kinetic live shows, will support Lewis Capaldi on his November UK dates and play a host of summer festivals including Isle of Wight Festival, Mad Cool, Reading & Leeds Festival, Y Not Festival and a main stage, homecoming performance at TRNSMT. The band will also hit the road on a run of UK headline shows this autumn.

Kasabian mastermind Serge Pizzorno takes a break from his day job with an incredibly exciting new track featuring Little Simz. ‘Favourites’ is an explosive, song that is dangerously addictive.

With music by Serge and lyrics by Serge and Little Simz, ‘Favourites’ is a breath of fresh air and the good news is, it’s just the first taste of a new side project destined to please fans old and new. ‘Favourites’ had its world premiere last night on Radio 1 as Annie Mac’s Hottest Record.

The S.L.P – as it is called – is a new project by Serge Lorenzo Pizzorno, Kasabian’s guitarist and songwriter. This debut solo album created during a one year hiatus from Kasabian, sees Pizzorno channel his artistic instinct to create an exciting and unexpected updated self-portrait.

“’Favourites’ is about identity in the digital age,” Serge says. “I was interested in how online dating is a sort of snapshot of this identity crisis. Through the speed and structure of the song, I wanted to capture the feeling of the real you inside your head trying to get out and escape during a first date. It’s a dialogue between two people who are coming to terms with their true selves through their digital interaction becoming a physical one.”

As for Little Simz, Serge admits this hot UK rapper “completely blew me away”.  He continues: “It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, make music with hip hop or grime artists.”

Stay tuned for more music and some live action shortly.

It’s been another exciting month at MBC towers, and we’ve got even more to be shouting from the rooftops about as we look to dive head first into the summer!

We welcome back Madonna as she globally unveiled the video for her poptastic new track ‘Medellin’ ft. Columbian superstar Maluma, on MTV this week. It’s the first taste of her new album Madame X out June 14th. More Madonna news to follow so watch this space!!!!

We also give a big warm welcome back to Mark Ronson, who announced his new album, ‘Late Night Feelings’ for June 21st. This collection of ‘sad bangers’ features collabs with Miley Cyrus, Camila Cabello, Lykke Li, Alicia Keys & more. Last night Mark took his Club Heartbreak to Ladbroke Grove for a DJ set with Romy (xx). Lily Allen was among the crowd. Mark and Lykke Li perform new single ‘Late Night Feelings’ tomorrow night on the Jonathan Ross Show.

Without doubt, 2019 has been a breakout year for Lewis Capaldi. After celebrating a whopping 7 weeks atop the charts, the UK’s biggest single this year has propelled him to become one of the first artists to ever sell out a UK arena tour before the release of a debut album, out next month.
