Spoon announce new EP, share “Sugar Babies,” touring with Black Keys, Weezer, more
Spoon are back with a new EP, Memory Dust, that will be out June 13 via Matador. These songs began during the recording sessions for their great 2022 album Lucifer on the Sofa, but were finished a year later after the band toured the world. It includes two new originals, “Sugar Babies” and “Silver Girl,” plus a cover of Bo Diddley’s “She’s Fine, She’s Mine.”
They've shared "Sugar Babies," which mixes acoustic guitar and barroom piano into a dusty, sultry groove that's peppered with sax. It's a good one and you can listen below.
Spoon will be busy on tour this summer, including European dates with Black Keys, and US dates with Weezer. All are listed below.
