15 Feb 2010Spoon – Written in Reverse (Vimeo)
I make no apologies when I tell you that Spoon are one of my all-time favourite bands, so it’s fitting I should post their latest video the day before their London show in support of new album Transference.
The video is all it needs to be – a stark, black and white clip of the band performing the track live. The two piano chords that fill th everse, Britt Daniels’ inimitable voice and the pounding bass as it romps into the track – it’s everything that makes Spoon great.
I’m going to be interviewing the band for BBC 6 Music as well, so if there’s anything you want me to ask the band feel free to drop a comment below and I’ll see if I can fit it into the eight thousand questions I’ll be wanting to throw at them.
Welcome to Bitter Fingers - a blog about popular song. Written by the hand of Mark Higgins, it serves up the very finest in new music, radio shows, spurious comment and #1 jams.
