(TORONTO - 10 June, 2014) - Spoon will return with their long awaited eighth offering, They Want My Soul, on August 5 via Loma Vista Recordings / Universal Music Canada, the country’s biggest music company. Preorders for the album, lauded by NPR as "unmistakably a Spoon record, with...fantastically infectious grooves and melodies" -- are live now at iTunes. An exclusive bundle will be made available later this week through the band's store (at www.spoontheband.com) which features, among other desirous items, a limited edition glow-in-the-dark vinyl LP, a t-shirt and handwritten lyric sheets. The first 100 bundle orders will receive an autographed set of lyric sheets. All preorders placed through iTunes and www.spoontheband.com come with an instant download of the album's lead-off track, "Rent I Pay." The band has also filmed an unofficial video for They Want My Soul's "Rent I Pay." This initial visual offering can be viewed at here. Britt Daniel and Jim Eno recently talked with Bob Boilen and Robin Hilton for NPR's ‘All Songs Considered’ about the recording process behind the record and its sonic elements. The All Songs Considered segment is currently streaming here. Yesterday afternoon Spoon took to the stage at New York City's Le Poisson Rouge for a live world premiere performance of "Rent I Pay" for NPR's ‘First Listen Live’. The punchy swagger of "Rent I Pay" in its live unveiling was met with a wildly enthusiastic reception from the privileged few to make it into the intimate venue. For everyone who couldn't, the performance is streaming now on NPR. Last weekend, Spoon kicked off a North American festival tour at the Governors Ball festival in New York City. This tour will include appearances at Lollapalooza, Outside Lands and the Austin City Limits Music Festival among a host of others.
