Disappointing, is the answer, if asked the question “What does Webcuts think of the new Spoon album, Transference. Probably for the first time in this Austin, Texas quartet’s career would we feel obliged to say this. Having gone from incredible strength to incredible strength with each successive release from Series of Sneaks on, it seems even the hardened, unwavering fan knew this day would come. “Written in Reverse” has all the pieces, the clatter and clank of piano keys, Britt Daniel’s hoarse voice riding atop of his see-sawing guitar, yet it feels like a song adrift in the search for a tune. Much of Transference feels like it was built from unfinished demos and studio jams in which “Written in Reverse” was chosen as this year‘s “The Underdog“. Unlikely to win new fans and unsettling to old, it will be interesting to see how Transference rides out the year. Out now on Merge in the States and Anti- in Europe.
