Spoon may be one of the most prolific bands of the past 25 years, and like all greats, the discussion of a greatest hits album has come up on more than one occasion.
âThe idea of doing a best-of came to us a couple times,â frontman Britt Daniel explained in a statement. âFirst I wasnât 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 itâs done well. It can be a thing unto itself.â
The indie rock veterans decided to add their name to that list and are gearing up to release Everything Hits at Once: The Best of Spoon on July 26. Though the compilation includes 12 of the most iconic tracks spanning their nine-album discography, Spoon paired the announcement with a brand new song, which will be the album's closing track.
"No Bullets Spent" sounds like a classic Spoon tune. A staccato guitar riff guides the song along as Daniel sings with his signature falsetto flourishes strewn throughout. Listen to the new track, check out the Everything Hits at Once: The Best of Spoon album art and track list, and peep Spoon's 2019 tour dates below.
